It seems like there are a lot of people that really want the 1le package and really don't need it. I've made this argument about the 5th gen cars before but after driving an ss vs 1le I realized I was wrong. In the 5th gen the 1le package turned a pig into a sports car and you could feel it driving down the road.. And that made the package worth it even for people who don't track their cars imo. But in the 6th gen are you really going to be able to tell 1le between ss if you're not driving at the limit? I have the feeling for most people the answer will be no they can't. Only time will tell but I think for that reason the price of the package may not be justified compared to last gen. Part for part sure I understand completely but when it comes down to the driving experience?? If the car doesn't see track time I just don't see the point. A LOT of people just seem to want this car because it's a step above the SS and they can't afford a Z. Just like the last 1le. If your car doesn't see the track and you have to a faster Camaro then why not spend the 6.5k extra on a supercharger? If you don't drive your car like a race car everywhere than this is probably a way better way to spend your money, have fun, and go fast. Everyone is free to spend their money how they want but I really wish a few more people would stop and think, "what's the point of a track car that doesn't see the track?"

To me it's a great value package. I think the best thing for GM to do would have been to make the HUD and the Recaros a separate package, probably would have lowered the price by around $1k to do that and could have sold the package for $5500 which would have 'felt better' compared to the previous price of $3500 on the 5th Gen. But the reality is that the 6th Gen 1LE package just has way more stuff in it than the 5th Gen did, and as a result it cost more. This isn't surprising to be honest. That has been their philosophy with this car in general [more content, for more money]. When you consider though that the 6th Gen 1SS has similar performance to the 5th Gen 1LE, maybe we can start to understand why they are charging more for the base car, and if as predicted, the 6th Gen 1LE performs similar to the GT350, maybe we should realize that although it isn't cheap, it represents a tremendous value for a sports car enthusiast. |

Sometimes I wonder If the Camaro team comes on here and looks at these thread pre-release. They pick a number we come up with between what we think is a little excessive and whats completely outrageous and then they laugh and laugh....
but muh content...but muh performance....but muh H2H against the M4 And before you elitists get on me I can afford it just fine. I just think GM is getting greedy. I don't care how much this or that option is retail either since that's completely irrelevant. I'll likely still buy it. OK I'm done crying till tomorrow.

(Cost to add to standard SS either factory or aftermarket) - Electronic LSD (N/A) - Perf. Traction Managment (N/A) - Wheels/Tires ($2500) - Springs, Swaybars, and Bushings (TBD) - Front Splitter ($610) - Blade Spoiler ($450 EBAY) - Recaros (N/A) - Suede wheel and shifter (N/A) - Satin finishes Also you don't get to opt for the Perf. Data Recorder. All in all I think the package is fairly priced if you want anything more than just 1LE wheels/tires on a standard SS.

Just for comparison a 2SS with MRC and NPP is $45,490 before TTL, so this is the comparison I've been looking at. I wanted the 1SS 1LE to come in under a 2SS with MRC and NPP, which it does by about $1k. Feels like they got the pricing of the car right to me. |

wouldnt you have to compare the price of a 5th gen 2SS 1LE to the new 1LE? The only thing the new one doesnt have that the old one had is heated seats.

I never, ever predicted a price that low...I wish that is what it was. My point was that $3000 shouldn't make or break your purchase. Wait and save as I said, as there are too many people living beyond their means. I was far from piling on the guy. If it came off that way, my bad.

Considering I still see 1 SS 6th gens in my area from low to mid 40's, I can't imagine anyone is actually driving out of the dealership for $43,000 like so many are saying.
Not now anyway. If so, why would you buy 1SS or 2SS? It will be interesting to see what people end up actually paying to get some of the first ones. |
