Dual zone climate - Sucks to be your passenger.. life's tough
BOSE - Bose is a little overrated and a PITA to replace down the road, go to a nice stereo shop and get some Focal/Dynaudio/etc.
Blind spot - Convex mirrors are 5 bucks..
Memory seats & auto-dimming mirrors - This is a deal-breaker? Come on it's a Camaro we're talking about here.

Maybe I'm biased but I don't see any real need for those items.. I'd rather see as a low a price point as possible. I'm coming from a WRX and the base model TR at that. I had an Acura before with most of the fancy options and don't miss them at all. Honestly I wish the 1LE came with manual adjusting seats.


So for you a 1LE would be perfect for you. Easy as 1,2,3.

But the 2SS has lots of value, for the masses that find value in those items.

As been said few times.. Chevy did a great job by offering cars with options for everyone.

I don't see anyone buying a Camaro they won't love.

I used the power stop evolution Z26 pads on my Z51 C7 and loved them. Braking was great and nearly zero dust.

Also a low cost and quality fit.

I've been searching for info on this but can't find where it states that you can get nav in the 1LE (with the PDR). Where did you hear/read this?

I think you have to have the nav to use PDR to it's full advantage (for the GPS of Nav) so I think they will be coming as a package. That's my thought.

This is my understanding as well.

The HUD and Nav seem to be exceptions to the "1SS rule"; carried over from the 2SS for the benefit of the track enthusiast.

Is that wheel gap on the 1SS 1LE going to be that way? I would think for shows they drop it even lower than stock just for appearance. The videos of the reveal have the SS looking like its got a lift kit. Even a standard SS looks lower than this.

Guess you missed the 500 posts discussing the ride height of the Chicago show car?

GM has said the car was still under development, we all hope for a lower ride height...

Mr. Wyndham, do you think that Chevy might put heating and cooling in the Recaro seats for 1LE and ZL1 in the future?

Not in structure, no, I don't think so. 1SS/1LE doesn't feature heat or ventilation, either. The ZL1 has that.

I got alarmed I misspoke until I read this.

No word yet on what Chevrolet performance parts will be available off of the ZL1 and 1LE...at the very least, we can hope!!
