The new ZL1 1LE has all of the bells and whistles, heated/cooled seats, dual climate control, etc.. as well as much needed wider tires, better looking wheels, red brake calipers, and most importantly better performance.

This car is going to compete for the same customers as the regular ZL1, ultimately devaluing all of the ZL1s that their most loyal customers already ordered. This frustrates me especially since I just took a $16,000 value drop on the '16 SS I bought last June.
I don't think it competes at all.

The existence of the 1LE package basically gives folks two choices: a track-focused ZL1, or a Grand Touring ZL1.

If you don't frequent the racetrack, the 1LE package shouldn't be a consideration.

If you DO...then it should be an easy decision.
