After having a night to think about it I'm on the fence. A few things from this thread
1) I was 100% wrong when I said in another thread that there was no way it will be available on a V6. I still think they should have given it a different RPO code but GM has proven time and time again that they don't care about the heritage of RPO codes (I don't mean that in a bad way, just a statement)
2) People say that it's good that it's not available with an auto as the manual is the only way to go on a race car. While that used to be the case, the 8L90 is every bit as fast as a manual around tracks now. Gone are the days of 3 and 4 speed autos with no manual abilities. It would be nice to have the option. I'm still getting a manual if I get a 1LE but I see the appeal now with current autos and how good they are.
3) I'm afraid that this is going to be a $7k package but on the 1SS that's still affordable. No way will this be anywhere near the $3,500 on the 5th gen. (Let's hope I'm wrong again)
4) The only thing I really hope for (but is doubtful) is that the Bose is available on it. I can deal with not having memory, heated seats, disco lighting, lane departure, etc. But for most people this will be a ~$48k daily driver with occasional track use. I really would like to have a good stereo for the 99% of the time that I'm on the street. Not many people can afford a $48k track car to sit in their garage except on track days.
5) Like someone else mentioned, no drilled front rotors on the 6 pots. I'm curious if this was a slight cost savings measure or a performance measure. Interesting.
I would like to see it in various colors. I was set on black but with all of the black accents, I might change to a brighter color if I go with the 1LE. GM really knocked it out of the park with this, I just hope the price is not crazy but I fear it will be.
