How about like the Z06, have it as an option. Standard with adjustable coils overs.

I really like a lot of the 1LE stuff... but also really like 2SS and RS content stuff. So maybe another version down the road based on a 2SS/RS and a little bump to the LS3 power, 1LE content, Z28 badges!

Build it as you said, don't change a thing!!!!!!!!!!!

Scott, these are incredibly smart, insightful, erudite consumers that you should listen too

I like option 1, but it needs to be lighter. Get rid of center speakers, put in manually adjustable recaros, no onstar. Basically a striped down 1ss with zl1 extras. Smaller wheels with zl1 wheels as an option.

Should we not offer the concept as you see it.

Very important to understand that powertrains aren't 'plug and play' -

You can't just grab and engine or a transmission or an axle and put it into the powertrain - there are all kinds of algorithms -- from throttle control to ABS to traction control.....etc.etc.etc.

whatever you guys did to this, it sound about right

That would be nice, sounds even more aggressive than the ZL1. I would definitely go for that icy white paint job.

The 1LE needs the blacked out rear like the SSX & the Hot Wheels hood.

How about just changing the cam? Or does that screw up the whole system?

As you know, GMPP has a very cool engine called the LS 376/480 which is just basically (I believe) an LS3 with a hot cam. Could that possibly be used in the 1LE? A hot cam would allow you to follow the Boss example with some extra horses. And a bigger car gets a few more horses.

That, with your concept, would be an AMAZING car! And hopefully much cheaper than a ZL1 in Canada.

It would be nice if it had a bit more HP but I think there would be enough interest if it were offered as is.
