Its a much broader car with great capabilities in high speed stability, cruising, autoX, road racing etc...

And to answer your basic question, I chose the 1LE for the suspension, brakes, aero and looks. The SS frankly holds no appeal to me. Its a hell of a package for its price and makes for a car thats capable of killing road courses. I wanted a well rounded weapon capable runway events, roll racing, road courses and taking me to dinner or the grocery store. The ZL1 is a heavier car, I am not a fan of PD blowers and spending $10-12k didn't appeal to me on top of the ZL1. The 1LE gives me what I want at a price and performance point that works for me. Lastly the cooling package on the 1LE is pretty immense out of the box, I have no concerns about heat with a blower/FMIC setup in place on this car.
you summed it up 100% lol it amazes me as soon as you want to mod something people freak out. I bought my 5th gen 1le the same reason I'm buying this one. I bought my 5th bc it was a couple hundred pounds lighter and all around was a great platform to build from.

and I agree with you 100% I hate PD blowers. thats where youll really get heat soak. especially down south here with the crazy humidity
