Yeaaaaaaah, ok.

Great decision! 👍🏻

'19 looks great to me. I actually like the front of mine with black/gray. Once I'm out on the road, last thing I even worry about is my car's looks anyway......but still I think my '19 looks awesome anyway. So happy as a clam.

I'm still trying to figure out how they pulled 2,500 to 3 grand out of this car.

What we know:

1) All season instead of performance summer run-flats
2) Base 7" infotainment screen
3) LT front end (not seeing how this saves a ton of money over the SS front end...maybe those "frying pan" DRLs are expensive!?)

Assumed:
1) Uses the base drivers information center instead of the 8" DIC used in the SS
2) Does not have all the same coolers that the SS has.
3) Maybe does not have Track and Competitive driving modes, but I don't see how this saves any money at this point.

What else am I missing? Not sure how all of that ads up to thousands in savings.

It's clear that the LT1 trim is still using the Brembo brakes, and I'd bet money that it is using the same suspension as a non-MRC equipped SS.

They shutdown a bunch of Plants.

..saved some money there...

I'm just trying to understand why the LT1 model cost significantly less than a 1SS when everything asside from the facia is pretty much the same

Blame your state government(Cali) for $4 gas. I filled up yesterday in Houston for $2.49.9

The SS badging is a premium, don't you know?

Years ago you could get the same V9 in a LT Camaro as you could in a Z28 or SS/RS. It was always a cheaper option.

That's what the Camaro Disciples basically did. They went away when Settlemire retired. Maybe this will help bring that program back.

I don’t think it’ll have the diff cooling or the auxiliary cooling. Probably will have the base gauges/display.

When you go to the base displays (gauge and center), you drop the associated features [that the 1SS has].

Probably no Track or other special dynamics controls. Software isn’t free.

Basic exhaust.

States it's available with the 8" upgraded system, at least.
