Help me understand the 1LE hype.
What gives? From what I see around here everyone wants to 'upgrade' to a 1LE around here. Is your street driven SS so bad that your are destroying your tires and brakes at an excessive rate? Does the stock SS just not meet your standards of handling ability on the freeway entrance ramp? Also, you don't want to buy the tires for them very often.
I'm mainly just wondering why you would want to trade your street driven SS, or your SS that you drag race for a 1LE, it's a track oriented car. Does it ride better, can you really tell the difference on the street or do you just feel like you are driving an SS with more expensive tires and a flat black hood? I can understand if you are an auto crosser or trading up from a V6 you may as well throw that package in I guess. |
it has a COMPLETELY different suspension,looks smexy as hell, closer gears, with a higher final. looks smexy as hell,different power steering. different fuel pumps. i havnt even got it out of the break in stage. keeping revs and speed low, and its amazing. did i mention smexy as hell?
|
I'm pretty sure the quarter mile time is the same in the ss and the ss with 1le pack.
|
I have wondered that as well.I know in my case i race mine, and do track days,which is what this car is designed for.I have never driven just the standard SS,in fact i was thinking today that i was going to contact my salesman and see if i could drive a used SS to see the difference. So if these are being bought to just drive on the street,i wonder what the draw is,dont get me wrong this car *ucking rocks,but i imagine the standard SS does as well.

smexy is what the 1LE is :) i dont know what that means,but it fits.
|
Huh... sounds like a V6 guy not understanding about the big deal of the SS... :lol:
|
For $3,500 bucks every SS buyer should check that option box. You get so much for so little. One of these day I'll be checking that box!

If you have a 2010-11 SS the 1LE will be a huge improvement. Not so much with the 2012+ SS. But like aggieguy13 was saying the 1LE has a lot of very nice parts on it. Just the 3.91 gears and transmission make it worth the cost let alone ALL the other stuff you get wih it.
If the 1LE was out back when I ordered my 2SSRS I would have one now. From what I have seen a stock 1LE will spank a stock SS in a drag-race (better gears better trans. gears and better tires. |
not exactly spank, its still a Drivers race. i believe is 12.9 and 13.1. but dont quote me on that.
but its just kinda cool to me. I previously had a 35th aniversary. one of only 100 with all the options i had. and they say that less than 1% of all 2013's are 1LE's so thats kinda cool. (no official numbers yet i dont think) |

its like saying hey, here's 3 tacos, that'll be $6. or ill give you 4 Tacos for $6.50.
or. ill sell you my Pump remington shot gun for $250. or you can buy my Benelli for$300 |
IMO it is the bargain of the century for $3500. The wheels alone are worth a substantial markup. Plus the better shocks and ZL1 parts in the rear and some durability. I'm honestly shocked that the option package costs so little for how much added value is tossed in there. Get a stripper 1LE and put on a centrifugal supercharger and you have yourself near ZL1 level acceleration for $15k cheaper.
