Direct injection and 40 degree air blowing on the shifter are but a few reasons I will not.

Why do you guys hate direct injection? It lets you have a much higher compression ratio, and you'll never need injector upgrades. If you can easily get 500 hp with a header, what's the problem? Don't tell me it's untried, causes carbon deposit, etc.; those are now old stories.

On topic, Although I feel the question the op poses is a bit loaded, I can say I am quite pleased with my 1LE. I feel I have something special and very suitable to my personality. I wont be trading.
That said, the 1LE is not just an SS. And they will sell about 30k to 40k 2016 SS's with various levels of options. I know the 1LE is just an option upon itself, but the parts list and combination are unlike any Camaro made to date wearing the SS badge. I like being different. |

Lighter and more power. I'd like to own a boltons 6th gen SS for sure but my 1LE is fantastic. The fact the price went up is bad. I fear the price of the next ZL1. If only we could get a 1LE with a H.O. LT1 like the GT350 for around 47-49k, I would totally buy it!
GT350 is my next car, I think. If I need 4 doors, Charger Superbee.

I decided not to sell my car when I started investing in it, but I said that so many times before with no success. We'll see this time.

I HATE that stupid 3 stantion spoiler that looks like it came off a 95 Honda with a fart can muffler. Am I the only one? if they get rid of that piece o' shite the rest might be OK.

P.S. Just realized the video was made by a catch can manufacturer. They were rightly pointing out the need to use a catch can, or two.

I myself absolutely love my '15, it's unique and definitely stands out as "different". It would take a lot to get me to switch over, but I am curious about the next Gen ZL1. I think our model is the sharpest model ever produced by GM, I do not care for the "Euro" curves they're incorporating into our American muscle cars. Big, bold and powerful... 'MERICA

Great feedback folks. I was just curious how other folks like me felt about the GEN 6. I hear the new SS supposedly outperforms the 1LE but I doubt I will be able to notice in city driving. Maybe I am just getting old but a base GEN 6 1SS after taxes at around 40k just seems like too much.

No matter how many spoilers, stripes or wider tires and wheels you put on a Gen 6 it will always look like a modern mustang to me.
