Ryephile, I never thought we were not on the same page, albeit I have a much less scientific way of presenting my thoughts - that's for certain.
Cem, don't forget TIRES and aero played a large role in ZL1 1LE being 3 seconds faster. Throw slicks on any car and it will be seconds (vs fractions of same) faster on a decent length track.
And those Goodyear Cups are near slicks that's for damn sure, 100 tread rating notwithstanding. Just like G3s are not "street" tires notwithstanding their 220 rating. That's based on how they grip vs NT01 and how much rubber I have left after 6 days.
The main "issue" I have with changes to electronics is warranty. As we all know, electronics can and do break from time to time. Could be a loose wire, etc. Personally, I wouldn't like to find myself in between GM and a 3rd party in such a situation, with an undrivable car (potentially).
Secondly, it would be prudent for a vendor to use fewer flashy words (they make stock 1LE sound like it is a complete turd handling wise, which in itself raises flags for me as this car is superbly balanced stock) and instead provide some base line track results, which unfortunately that autox "win" article failed to do.
