don't get me wrong, i LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE my 1LE, but chevy you've got to do better if you want my money. when it comes down to it, i could have the same amount of fun on a Subraru BRZ for a fraction of the price. If it wasn't for my addiction to power and torque, then i'd be elsewhere. I bought this 1LE to get away from having to upgrade too much on a car.

My last car, I had invested over 50K in it, and made well over 500WHP and weighed half as much.

I know this is really none of your bzness or your concern, but if I go out and purchase a "track ready" car, then if may as well be really F'ing track ready.
I honestly don't know of any track ready car short of Ariel atom or KTM X-bow. Every car has an issue or two..

I went to my local dealer to buy a BRZ at the time, but I was pretty disappointed after the test drive. That boxer engine has a huge torque dip, and kills all the fun. I ended up buying a Miata, which feels sweeter despite having even less HP. This experience was also eclipsed by friends of mine.
