ZL1 and ZL1 1LE like Artos said have too much in common that is different from an SS. The I4 Turbo and V6 cars have a 1LE package too and are different as well, but like the ZL1 they haven't been out that long so the 1LE section has a long history full of SS related stuff. My thoughts are to move all the 1LE threads to the SS section and keep the models together whether they are 1LE or not. Much easier to search stuff out that way.

If it's 1LE related then just put that in the title. At least you will be in the correct model.
I personally think that it would be a disservice to current and future 1LE owners to just lump all of the 1LE related threads in with an SS or V6 section. In fact, I'm having a hard time seeing why anyone would have an issue with that section. A lot of people come to this forum for information before they buy and it sure is easy for someone to log in and see a 1LE specific forum when that's what they're interested in. Same for current owners looking for info.

If you're not going to put ZL1 1LE in that section, rename it to 6th Gen SS/V6 1LE Discussion.

I believe the reason for having the 1LE section originally was for more track focused discussion pertaining to the 1LE package as it was being released for the 6th gen, especially since there are many parts on a SS 1LE that a regular SS does not have. This is also a good reason why ZL1 1LE discussion should be in the ZL1 section since other than suspension, aero, etc the ZL1 1LE is mostly identical to a normal ZL1.

IMO it would make the most sense to move the ZL1 and Z/28 sections to the "Specific Packages / Variants" area that the 1LE section is in as opposed to being in the "General Forums" area.
Agreed.

Definitely. I think a few of us have made suggestions in the appropriate forum thread on this applying to other sub-topics as well. At the very least it resulted in ZL1 marketplace threads. What about fluids, engine, and other very different topics than the SS, etc which don't exist yet. Do you know the owner's temperature on that? Most of the suggestion threads go completely unresponded.

V6 1LE does not share much with SS 1LE but they post there too with no issues. I like the section because there are many track-specific threads.
