[SS 1LE]

Am I correct in this thinking? Only Motor Trend and Car and Driver have done full instrumented road tests of these cars?

If not, who else did one?

[1LEMATT]

I think so, I have seen other "first drives" and things like that, but those were not full tests.

TheSmokingTire did a review. If that counts for what your looking for.

Edit. It was not instrumented^

Do we need a 3rd one to Confirm it's Butt Kicker Status?

Lol no, I keep all this sort of stuff, so just looking to make sure nothing was missed.

I'd like to see an instrumented test too. I'd really be interested to see full test #'s against non-1LE SS and a C7 Stingray. Guessing the extra stick of the 305 rears might cut a tenth or two off straight line 0-60/100 times.

(GM does quote the 0-60 time as a tenth better. There must be like ten regular SS tests, to only two SS 1LE tests though, but on average the SS 1LE is maybe a tenth quicker. It seems mainly that it is easier/more consistent to launch, which is important in itself. But it's the handling/braking numbers that are a nice step up from SS to SS 1LE.)

I have both SS 1LE tests, these are the numbers...

0-60: MT 4.0/CD 4.1
1/4 ET: MT 12.4/CD 12.4
1/4 TRAP: MT 114.2/CD 116.0

SKIDPAD: MT 1.09/CD 1.05
BRAKING: MT 94 (60-0)/CD 141 (70-0)

Nobody has tested the top speed, but I remember reading in multiple first drive reviews that it was quoted as 186.

Take it from a 1LE owner. There is nothing comparable for the money. NOTHING! It is a phenominal car on track and street!!!

What issues of MT and CD are you referencing? I subscribe to both and can't recall any full test outside MT's car of the year test at Laguna, which I didn't remember having full instrumented numbers outside lap time.

I hope that's true. I've kinda lost interest.

What are you still interested in?

A fun car. Hell, any car. My interest peaked a couple weeks ago and then transformed into frustration and now into ambivalence. If I had not already paid for this thing I'd bail and go grab a seriously discounted 2017 2SS from one of my local dealers. When GM eventually finds my 1LE and delivers it, I hope I feel like it was worth waiting for.

WAIT, the SS 1LE is worlds better than a regular SS if you are about performance.

Motor Trend did a full instrumented test during the Best Drivers Car. Scroll down to forth place and you will see all the stats. This was in the September issue if I recall.

Car and Driver also did a full instrumented test. I think this was in the October issue.
