Plan B is a 1SS

Meh. With the way that dealers in my area are dealing they are knocking about $3k off the 1SS right away.



Personally, for me, I'd love for it to be right at $43k after discounts. Any higher and I'll likely be searching for a used C7 Z51.

$42k / used V8 Vantage, 335is, or S13 Silvia

I'd say between $43-$45K including the Recaros.

More than that for MSRP and they will run off a ton of potential buyers.

It's my understanding that the Recaro seats are standard with the 1LE. The only optional equipment I know of is the PDR system.

Max 45k or I will just buy a 1ss

Recaros were a 2k option on the gen5 1le. I am just not sure how they can keep the 1le package price to 5k with all this content.

I've always been that way. When I was a kid I passed on 1 scoop of ice cream because I wanted 2.

Wow...that's me in a nutshell; my way or nothing--life is too short to constantly settle.

If I can't get one with PDR/NAV under $45,000 I'll take my business elsewhere.

I am thinking it is probably in that price range without the PDR or Nav. Maybe after dealer discounts and such you will get to that price. That is probably one of the reasons they are not offering a 2SS 1LE right now, it will put it north of 50k. I know it is not an exact comparison, but if you price out a base 1SS with only NPP, MRC and 6-piston Brembos you are already at 43k msrp. If the 1LE winds up being in the 45k range I can't see anyone ever ordering these performance options a la carte vs. getting a 1LE, unless they wanted an automatic trans car.

If you option the 6 piston brembos on a 1SS it's like buying a completely second brake kit. The car comes with the standard brakes, your dealership installs the 6 piston for you, and then you get all the parts back from the 4 piston brakes.

Using that option as a way to 'price' the 1SS 1LE won't work because the 1LE is going to come with the 6 piston brakes. You won't be buying brakes twice.

Also, the 1LE will be a very stiff ride. So if you aren't into that it would be a reason not to get the 1LE.

Well said. I think a lot of people are having a hard time understanding stuff like this. That's why the package will have value. If it cost exactly the same as adding perf parts to a 1SS then a 1LE package wouldn't exist. We would all be driving SS's right now instead of waiting for this car.

Is it correct to assume the MRC will make for a pretty comfortable ride, regardless of the upgraded suspension components?

In track or sport mode a stiff ride makes sense in relation to the standard SS, but in other modes I would expect it to be satisfactory.

The springs will be much stiffer in the 1LE than on the base SS. The MRC has be retuned to match the stiffer springs on the 1LE.

I suspect that this 1LE will be more comfortable than the last 1LE, but it will not be a comfortable ride by comparison to the base SS.
