Torn between SS 2 or SS 2 w/ 1le package..

Hello everyone. I am new to the Camaro world , but have been learning a lot through these forums. I am in the market for a Camaro , but I am torn, l am really fond of the appearance of the 1le package mainly because of the way it looks, I really like the flat black accents and the rims, but this car will be my daily driver and I am afraid that the suspension may be to stiff as I work offshore and travel back and forth to Louisiana every three weeks, anyone that knows those roads knows exactly what I am talking about. Dose anyone have any insight on how tight the suspension may be? I really don't want the ride to sway my decision, but I also don`t want to feel like I have been beat up every time I go to work in Louisiana. Thanks for any insight I may receive.

I would go 1LE, but if your not going to track it I wouldn't bother with it.

The suspensions in these cars are fairly tight regardless.

If I were in the market, I'd go 1LE

I'd go 1LE... it's one extra RPO code that could be a boost in value down the road.

1LE becuase the suspension on the SS is pretty stiff and your going to feel it anyway... also going with the 1LE makes you more unique

The SS has a pretty tight and stiff suspension as is. Bumpy roads are not much fun. The Pirelli tires are wide and sticky. They track every burble , crack and dip in the road. To be honest the 1LE may actually ride a bit better borrowing suspension parts from the ZL1.

1le without a doubt. Even for an everyday driver it will ride better than a regular ss.

The 1LE comes with monotube shocks which help performance and hurt ride quality. I don't expect it to be much worse than a regular SS though. The only person on this site that could tell you how the ride compares is Fbodfather. He's the only one I know of that's driven one yet out of people that post on this site.

1LE, but also consider the replacement cost of the tires.
