I agree with most of what was said here, except for the collectability part. That has yet to be proven. Nobody KNOWS for sure at this point. And the 1LE isn't considered by me and seemingly the general car collectors as a "rare" car. At least not yet. A bad-ass cool car? It is and likely always will be. But not rare.
That said, most motoring public don't know what a 1LE is, let alone how to seek one out. The option is outstanding value for what you get. If people knew more about it, I'm betting there'd be several thousand more per year built. The limited car buyer's knowledge today is helpful with potential future collectability because they didn't build a million of them, but then only those who really know will think it's worth it. If you don't get what I'm talking about, then you haven't yet learned what collectible really means.

Not even remotely close, I would have waited 3-6 months and bought a loaded '16 2SS for $40-42k. Ya'll be funny discussing "collect-ability" and "1LE" in the same sentence.

I agree with the lack of collect-ability. I am amazed that no magazine (like a VIR Lightning Lap), or GM for that matter, has provided any data that supports this 2016 SS out performing a 1LE outside of 0 - 60 and 1/4 mile times, which are irrelevant to a 1LE. Inquiring minds want to know!

If I had any remote plans to track my vehicle and looking at a Camaro purchase, it would be a '16 every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Only in so far in fact that I could not wait or afford the 2017 ZL1. If I had any plans on a garage queen collectible, it would be a new Z/28. I own a Dusk, which is second only to the Neiman Marcus in rarity and I have no doubt the Z/28 will pull in higher % returns over both cars (Currently the Neiman Marcus is leading over all 5th gens). The next vehicle to consider for collectible will be the 50th anniversary, but I am not holding my breath. The last few anniversary editions had a sticker, badge or color options on it, but have otherwise been "worthless". |

2014, 2468 built vs 97k total 2015 will probably track 2014, it was a tough year for the gen 5 because of the 2016 anticipation. Maybe 7000 built in total from what I can glean. As far as "rarity" of a package, the Dusk edition takes it, but it was just a color/trim package. The 1LE is actually a pretty cool beast to own one of. Edit.. Actually, the Hot wheels version is probably the rarest... |

Now if you put G2s on Gen 6 ... yes, very likely. But stock tire for stock tire, I'd have an EXTREMELY tough time believing a new Gen 6 SS is quicker around anything but the most high-speed tracks.

All this thread does is prove everyone has an opinion and they're all subjective. Good to see other viewpoints, though.
