Agree with the above. Pick up a used 2010 SS. Same engine and everything. You can strip it, get some aftermarket suspension and rear gears. I wouldn't worry about getting a crate motor. Just have the LS3 in the car built to what you want. I would say get a 1SS with no options. You going to be removing most of the extra stuff that you get in the more exspensive models anyway. If you look around you can actually find a set of 19 inch wheel that will fit over the stock brakes and reduce the unsprung weight. The 5th gen has been out long enough, that the aftermarket parts that are available will allow you to build a older used one to be faster and cheaper then buying a 1LE and making the changes that your planning.
