Can someone explain to me something about the features of the 1LE that you hear these goofy video hosts dumb down for the masses?

I always here them list off the features of the car as if they're unique to the 1LE, specifically the 6 pistons, magnetic ride, and the short throw shifter are tossed right in there with "the special aero". We all know that the special aero is the blade and front splitter and that you can get an SS with them. When I see the 6 piston brakes, I was really surprised to see that they don't include the same slotted rotors that I got with my factory SS 6 pistons.

So I think you can tell what my question will be already...are the short throw shifters really any different from a regular SS to 1LE? Same question about the magnetic ride.

I have to say that I love the 1LE and I drew a lot of inspiration from it in the way I optioned and built my car. It's not a car that I'd want to live with, but I've cherry picked the features that made the most sense for me or went after-market to replicate them. I also think it's fantastic that GM bought an M4 to let people conduct a comparison. It says a lot about what they've accomplished and it saved me a lot of money lol
