I get that the MRC is a great system but it would be wasted on me. I enjoy the ride of my 1LE so I would never adjust it to a softer setting. If they do build a 1LE, I would prefer they spend the R&D money on making the car faster around a track than developing the MRC system for that car. GM needs to leave something for the enthusiasts and I think it should be the 1LE. It is already a low volume option but is very well regarded.

As much as I hope they build a new LTx engine, I haven't seen any rumors or hints at an LS6 like engine or even a new Grand Sport. With the gen V small block, GM skipped to the end with the LT1 and LT4. I doubt they will build anything else. All the rumors I have been seeing are the C7 being a stop gap car for the C8 mid engine car.

The 5th Gen 1LE has revised struts. With MRC there is no need to physically change th struts. At most, they get a more aggressive program. Overall, I expect to see MRC on all but the least expensive GM vehicles. It ties into the the safety net of ABS, TC and SC that GM started a few years back. As the cost continues to drop the usage will increase. |

If the SS comes with MRC, there really is nowhere else they can take it with a simple package like the 1LE is today. It would force it out of existence. At most, it would be some brakes and tires, with maybe some aero. If I had any say, I would build it like this: Improved LT1 to 500+ hp/tq 7 speed manual hard top only 19" wheels with 295 square tires Torsen LSD with optimized rear gears. Not sure if 3.91s are needed like on current 1LE and Z/28. Upgraded bushings, maybe urethane Would prefer hydraulic dampers 6 pot front, 4 pot rear Brembos with two piece rotors Recaros Alcantera steering wheel and shifter Full aero or at least tiered aero system like Z06/Z07

I hear that recent 'Ring times have NOT been record-breakers. However, an inspection of the track may give some clue as to the reasons why. Exhibit #1:
