Just because base SS handling is much improved doesn't negate the 1LE it just means an Alpha 1LE will be a hell of a car. The run flats themselves are leaving a lot on the table. I'm loving how much Motortrend is in love with the Camaro, makes me want to upgrade but that's not likely for me. Great times for the Camaro are just ahead.
I don't think a few square feet of vinyl are all that integral to the idea of a 1LE.



Agree with the rest though (almost said a version of it on Camaro6 just now)
