The source for the 1LE debut at Chicago, according to Cars.com, was a GM spokesperson.

I'll be waiting, though I won't be doing so patiently.

Does the 6th gen come standard with brake ducts? The biggest deficit in my current 1LE from my recent track day excursions, and having track pads, is the fronts will overheat easily. GM would be wise to include brake ducts in the 6th gen 1LE as standard as well as things like heavy duty diff/tranny cooler, separated brake and clutch fluid, and possibly upgraded brake lines too. Those would be the basics in my opinion for a track day machine, and everything else is just bonus (with exceptions of better wheels and tires of course and a lowered center of gravity).

Any thoughts if it will be available for the A8 equipped cars?

I believe the ss comes standard with front brake ducts, so the gen6 1LE will as well... have you considered the z28 front duct package for your 1LE?

Doubtful if they follow the fifth gen 1LE formula. I personally wouldn't have a problem with them making an auto trans 1LE or a V6 1LE or a 1LE convertible.

And speaking of the GT350/GT350R, I saw that the 350 was $52K, so that does prove your point as to it being expensive. The GT350R is worth way more.

yea I guess that's probably true. I mean the current 1LE doesn't have any bespoke parts like the Z/28 right? its pretty much an SS with parts you can buy right out of the catalog already installed?

We have 5 pages of opinions... some information about 5th gen 1LE and a lot of conjecture. If a 1LE package comes out now (which it appears it will) I doubt it will significantly improve the track performance of the current SS. The phasetec car sticker shows a lowering kit. Everything else on the list, exhaust, big brake kit, front extension, stripes... can be ordered on any SS right now.

The Gen 5 1LE package took suspension parts from the ZL1 that was already for sale and bolted them on a SS. This was needed to fix the shortcommings already identified in that car. Did have a transmission change, gear change and a tire change.

Will a Gen 6 1LE Camaro package be faster around a track?, I hope so but don't expect the difference to be as big on this car as the Gen 5. The gen 6 SS Camaro was developed on the race track to begin with and that is why it is so close to the GT350. Prior to release, they were leaking pics of the aluminum suspension components that are already top notch. 2016 SS had more track focus from day 1 of engineering so there is not a ton of room for more performance right now. Yes you can always make it better but the bar is starting high already (hence the motor trend car of the year award).

If the '17 1LE has some serious upgrade parts then I'm sure we will be able to retro fit them on the '16 SS. It would be nice to get the factory discount but that's what happens when you get the first ones off the line... As the platform improves you have to spend more coin to keep up.

I highly doubt it.

I think just adding a wider more aggressive tire setup will make up alot of ground to the GT350. Whats stock on a SS? 245 front 275 rear? Just putting 285 all around with a sticky tire will do wonders!! As soon as the 1LE is debut I will decide to wait and order one. If its not what im looking for I will order a 2SS and put my ZL1 wheels on with the Michelin Pilots. That should do alot performance wise right there.( Probably enough for me.)

Usually I am the patient type, but all this waiting for the 1LE is actually killing me. Especially since there is no renderings. Chevy is doing a great job keeping this under wraps. That's not nice Chevy...not nice at all.

I agree with the wheel and tire setup, the tires also let you turn in quicker with more meat up front. The 1LE will likely be setup to have less under-steer as well. In addition, the small amount of aero differences between the gen5 SS and 1LE is substantial. The SS created lift at 100+mph, the 1LE made down force.

I hope it does get revealed in Chicago. I do think it will be very similar to the performance concept. Let the countdown begin!

I would hope the 1LE would also have an upgraded/heavy duty clutch and the track performance recorder thingy.....
