Now...what about folks (like me) who take the car to a track regularly...but also drive it every day and would like the amenities? Is that such a bad thing to ask for an option in that respect?
If I'm honest, it was a bummer to find out the package was restricted to 1SS models. I get it; and hopefully it was a good decision in terms of sales.

No offense but maybe a ZL1 would be a better choice for you then (i know you owned one in the past)
Here's my reasoning. The 1LE is pretty much a compromised Z/28. Meaning its not a 100% track focused car because it does come with a bunch of amenities that the Z/28 forgoes. Randy Pobst said it best I think. "The 1LE is 90% of the Z/28, just with less power.." Does that make sense? When you start to add the automatic transmission and all these other things, it takes away its uniqueness. What makes it special.
I think it was smart of GM's part to only offer it in the 1SS trim. It keep the price point down and took some of the cool stuff from the 2SS and included it in the 1LE package (e.g. the HUD) Sticking to their 1LE roots a bit more.
The only other amenity I would consider would be the heated seats. Nice for long road trips but not a necessity. The other things, I could really care less about. But that's just me.
