We will probably have to weight for pricing and performance data.

6 piston front, 4 piston rear Brembos with bigger rotors. Maybe two piece.
Functional splitter, spoiler, rockers and diffuser.
Monotube dampers, stiffer springs, sways and bushings.
Probably keep the MM6 trans with a different rear gear
Alcantera wrapped steering wheel with a short throw shifter.

Recaros?

Performance Data Recorder?

Rear Seat Delete?

Maybe the 285/305 setup we have seen a few times, and I too HOPE it's these wheels (pic attached). As I like them enough that I wouldn't even swap them out for aftermarket ones.

I think those brakes may bump the price up too high? I was thinking maybe larger rotors, same calipers...but the tranny won't need to be different like last gen. So that saves money.

Different spoiler and splitter. Don't see any bodywork changes besides that on the 1LE, I will save that for the next Zxx.

Agree.

Agree, thinking 3:91.

Agree.

Similar thoughts as mine, but a few differences. I would also think some type of 1LE badging this time around. I would love to see some sort of suede seat insert option on the cloth seats too...

I think PDR has a good chance of being in the package.
Recaros will probably be an option.
I don't see GM doing a rear seat delete.

Game, set, match. Recaros would be icing on the cake, but what you described is my ideal 6th gen.

6 piston front calipers should certainly be included, given that the Mustang GT PP has them.

Were the wheels on the 5G 1LE and ZL1 forged?

The 285/305 could be possible if it doesn't create understeer. That's why the 5th gen used the 285 square set up.

I'm thinking the brakes will be covered by not having to change out the transmission.

A lot of people seem to want the 1LE to be as hardcore as the Z/28 was, but that's the whole point of the Z/28 (now; it used to be different), to be the most hardcore, the Z/28 will be the 350R challenger, let the 1LE have a different purpose

There seem to be 2 groups. Group 1 wants their cake and eat it to, meaning they want a 1LE that is as streetable as an SS.

Group 2 just wants the 1LE to remain what it is and always has been. Thankfully, I am quite sure GM is in the second group, and that's why the SS is on offer for group 1.

GM is probably going to go with whichever will generate more revenue. Which is somewhere between the two.

That does seem to be what would make the most sense. The reason I feel the way I do is due to how Al O spoke about the 1LE. How it is JUST for the 2%.

That being said, and as you mentioned, it seems the hype from the 5th Gen is creating a LOT of buzz and they really could make more money if they dilute the 1LE to cater to more buyers.

I just hope they don't!

So I should be able to update my 1ss to 1le specs for racing?

I like those wheels, too!

The concept of badging and identity was something they were asking about at past CamaroFests..."Do you think it needs a badge"...in my opinion, I said yes - the car has such a reputation now as a performer, a badge would be pretty neat.

You're probably right.

Consider that the Mag Ride option is already there. Depending on *how* different Chevy performance chooses to go with 1LE suspension tuning, the Mag Ride option might still be available...because after all, every 1LE starts life as an SS. So why not?

However, the last generation 1LE did not change the car's ride-height, BUT...if you look real closely at spy pictures and videos, it appears that the car is lower to the ground than a stock SS. This could be my eyes playing wishful tricks on me...though, if that's the case, Mag Ride will almost certainly not be an available option when "1LE" is equipped.

If this is the case, folks who must desperately have MagRide will almost certainly be able to get an SS equipped with the magic shocks, and modify it's base suspension components, wheels, and brakes, etc to get closer to a 1LE's level of performance.

Food for thought...You really can't loose...

If the 1SS and 2SS didn't have MRC as an option I would agree with you but since MRC is available on the SS is leads me to belive the 1LE will be more similar to the Z51 which has both options.

The reason the 1LE didn't have MRC as an option was because neither did the SS, it was to keep MRC special for the ZL1.

I'm guessing that list will add close to $5K. No expert at all on performance part costs, but that looks like a rich list.
