I always thought of the black hood as a way to reduce glare a la the fighters in WW2. Looks cool, too!

The question should be, why wouldn't you choose a 1LE given the option.
I found it easier to add the 2SS bits that I wanted to a 1LE, rather than making the futile attempt at turning a SS into a 1LE with a few add ons. Recaros, HUD, PDR, six piston Brembos, wheel/tire pkg, eLSD, PTM, MRC, NPP, even the NLS programming.

Don’t rule out a tracking in the future, if it’s not possible now. Track insurance gets lower as your insured value does. It’s a great way to reignite enthusiasm in a car you might be bored with so you don’t sell it! I started tracking bmw 1 series after owning it for 5 years , kept it 4 more years, so I saved money by tracking it

I could see this argument being much easier if it were a 1LE to ZLE. If you never planned to track a ZLE, it's just overkill. Now for 7k the 1LE on an SS is a great value and transformative both aesthetically and dynamically. EOD it's your hard earned coin to do what you please.

In short: none. As much as posted ramp speeds are advisories, if you really high tail it and a cop catches ya, you will experience a very big pain of being charged for "racing" (at least in Ontario, albeit no cop will ignore it regardless of province and likely use a reckless driving offense). My track friend had experienced this very scenario and it wasn't fun at all, including a court visit, lawyer costs, license suspension and a big fine. Just for "givin'er" on an off ramp for a few seconds.
So, posted speed technicalities aside, if one wants to push a car, there is no better place than a race track. Safer for everyone as well. Cheers! |

Long time F-body guy so the 1LE badge holds a bit of fandom status. The other aspect was I was between a brand new 2018 301A PP1 Mustang GT and found the 2018 1LE with 2800 miles. For the same price as the Mustang, I could buy the slightly used 1LE. Getting better brakes, Recaro seats, Magnetic Ride, dual mode exhaust. Similar options on a Mustang would have been mid 40s with rebates. The value was to good to not get the 1LE.
