Nonsense
The stuff on the 1LE with the exception of the suspension upgrades is Imo a bunch of nonsense (no offense to those that like it intended). Does anyone know when or if GM intends on offering the performance aspects of the car like they did for the fifth gen?
I assume the ediff is something that will not be offered :( |

So what do you think is nonsense? The NPP, Recaros, HUD? Those are the only things I can think of that don't directly improve performance.

The 1LE is a track package...suspension enhancements including MRC, E-Diff, 6-piston front brakes, wider wheels, wider track focused tires, seats and some cosmetics stuff. All beneficial if you track the car. If not, spend the money on 2SS goodies.

Track oriented MRC = not nonsense
Upgraded wheel sizes and goodyear tires = not nonsense Front splitter and rear spoiler = not nonsense bigger brakes = not nonsense recaros = not nonsense HUD (being able to read your speed without taking your eyes off the track) = not nonsense e diff = not nonsense NPP.....ok I'll give you that one.

The only "nonsense" is the HUD, recaros, splitter and spoiler, and NPP. He mentioned that the e-diff wasnt included in the "nonsense" But like you said, even the "nonsense" items can be beneficiary for a track pack. |

Ender I think what you are wanting is the suspension setup that the 1le offers is this correct?

Also, as stated above, if the Recaro's keep you planted in the seat, that is a performance upgrade. If the front splitter and rear spoiler do add downforce at track speed (obviously not talking an AutoX course), then they are a performance upgrade. Which, GM has taken their aero parts very seriously over the past 5-6 years.... maybe slightly further back if you include the Ron Fellows Edition C6 Z06. The NPP was found to give a HP upgrade on the Stingray (5hp over standard), I don't think GM rates it that way with the Camaro, but if it opens for more flow (not just sound), then that is also a performance upgrade. Yes I know its already available AS AN OPTION on the SS, but it is STANDARD on the 1LE. The only part I wouldn't consider it being an upgrade is weight. I don't know official weight numbers of having the NPP muffler, flap motors, wiring and possible control unit on the vehicle vs say just the Chevrolet Performance Parts Mufflers. But I would think the CPP mufflers would weigh fair amount less. So maybe in that regard, the NPP HP gain vs weight is just a wash? |
