The infotainment system will be an absolute hit! Much needed in a top performance car, these days.

Now to get track apps like on the mustang and challenger.

I'm with you. Black is not my top choice, now gunmetal or smokechrome, thats more like it.

Same here guys......I hate Black wheels,to me they are plain looking,have no looks,no style,and no design to them what-so-ever,you may as well bolt on a set of plain Black "cop car" steel wheels!! LOL!!
Now the competition grey ones that are available on the Corvette's aren't too bad,although I wouldn't get them either,to me they look like they have a heavy build-up of brake dust on them,in other words they always look dirty!

Man this thread is getting big. Does anyone know if the 1LE suspension system will be available to buy from GM on its own? I for one would be interested in swapping out my 2010 suspension for that sweet magnetic ride.

1LE will not include magnetic ride and my guess would be to buy the associated ZL1 components and swap them into your car would cost more than trading for a ZL1. 1LE, as I understand it, will have a track optimized conventional suspension.

There's no mag ride on this puppy unfortunately, but trying to retrofit mag ride is a very expensive undertaking. It will have track tuned conventional suspension that you'll be able to order once its out and it the system.

Not really, the rear 28mm bar with bushings clamps and links is only about 200 bucks to get, springs are about 60, shocks and strust are 80-90. So if this is what he wants it wont cost as much as people think. The half shafts and rear differential though are very expensive

I was expecting it to be really expensive, just figured I'd ask and hope :(
I'll definelty keep my eye out for 1LE suspension components at my dealer. It will be interesting to see how it's price stacks up to other aftermarket manufactures.

As stated before this is nothing but a track pack, it's not a completely new trim, you pay more for the boss because of the engine more that anything.

Well, there are already more ZL1 clones out there than there are ZL1s (see the photos forum). This includes the side skirts, so there has to be a GM Part Number for them. Blacking out the grill area is easy enough, and the mirrors should be doable as well. Getting ZL1 brakes to fit should be easy considering it's the ZL1 wheel/tire package. Really wish there was a box-check option for it, though. As long as they keep offering the black hood, splitter, and dual-mode ZL1 exhaust with blacked out ZL1 decklid spoiler, it should be easy enough to replicate the SEMA car.

I think that setup looks better than the actual ZL1.

I'm pretty certain that the 1LE splitter is the same as the Camaro Dusk

[MarkSS]

Will the 1LE have the same traction control as an SS or something more like the PTM on a ZL1?

Hotdamn that's nice.
