Has anyone had a dealer alignment done on their 2024 SS 1LE? Took mine to the dealer and they told me the specs have not been released yet and that they are much different from 2023 specs?

From an alignment specs perspective, the 2024 is exactly same as the 2023 (and every 6th gen SS 1LE that came before it). There should be 2 alignment profiles in the system if I remember correctly, one for the street and the other for the track.

Lol, don't go to a dealer. They are clueless in more ways than the comment on the specs that have actually been available for 7 plus years.

Find a shop that will give you an alignment to your specs. A tech who sweats the details and and is patient is what you want. "In the green" on the alignment machine won't cut it on these cars with short stiff sidewalls, precision steering and responsive suspension. Perfect symmetrical side to side numbers, with zero front toe, .10* total rear toe in. That will go a long way to a great driving car. Camber amount is dependent on if you are tracking or not.

Search here on the forums. Alignments have been discussed heavily.

One of the best things you can install for durable rear alignments and for ease of adjustability is a set of SPL rear toe rods with the eccentric bolt lockout.

There are 2 pairs of rear eccentric bolts that are torque to yield (TTY) that GM calls out to be replaced every time they are loosened. The SPL arms with the lockout kit will eliminate one pair of these. The other pair are used to adjust the rear camber at the lower control arm. Again, best thing to do now prior to getting an alignment is to purchase an extra pair of these rear camber bolts. They are available on rockauto. The nuts are reusable. All front and rear alignment fastener GM tightening procedures should be used. Otherwise the alignment may move.

Purchase two 10mm x 1.5 x 40mm stainless set screws. In order to fine tune the front camber each one of these set screws are installed in the front suspension knuckle. A dealer will go on about needing a "special" alignment bolt up front, but the set screws work perfect.

The track specs are in the performance supplement of your owner's manual. Don't let a shop or dealer bully you on what you desire. You would be doing yourself a big favor if you learn about the alignments on these cars. Not just the specs but how to get there. Info is ammo to keep these guys honest. Expect an alignment to take about 2 hours. Dealers will try to rape on cost. Another good reason to take your business elsewhere. Sure, there might be a dealer with a tech that gets it, but they are rare. Finding a great tech who understands performance alignments can be tough. Good luck.

Congrats on the 1LE, great color choice!

Thanks for the info. Your answer “the dealer is clueless.” Was exactly what I was thinking. When they told me that.

there isn't much of anything a dealership service department says, that can be trusted...

Most any mainline shop isn't going to do it when they can't find it in the computer and in this case ya the 24 specs (unchanged) aren't out in the field (yet). Great advice post #3.
