The mechanical side of the 1LE should come in at about $10Gs. On a 1SS, low-$40s; on a 2SS, mid-$40s...$10Gs less than a ZL1 which, for many folks, might be the difference between "participating" and "spectating"...

GM is on-record as preferring "participants"...

DuhKoDuh · 02-02-2012, 09:18 AM

i would want it to be faster than the ZL1!!!!

Mikes SS · 02-02-2012, 12:18 PM

sure why not, if you call it a Z/28 instead!!

Fraxum · 02-04-2012, 07:46 PM

Please do not build a 1LE OR Z28. I will have to buy it and I have three kids in college.

Have you seen the level of personal disrespect people have shown? He could also just be busy.

Cam#7 · 02-05-2012, 09:42 AM

I'll still wait for the Z/28. The 1LE would be a good SS option. Once the C7 Corvette gets finalized, we'll have a better idea of what the Z/28 engine will be.

truth411 · 02-05-2012, 02:38 PM

Yes you should build it, but don't call it a Z/28 as the poll suggests. IMVHO.

ALLTRBO · 02-06-2012, 08:16 AM

Yes, but...
Where possible: Keep weight down. Keep weight down. Keep weight down.

Stick to the original 1LE formula, but for the 21st century. A/C and power windows are great, and would require too much re-engineering to delete, it sounds like (IOW, not worth the cost we'd have to pay). Stereos are fine.
Power leather seats = NO
9-speaker stereo option = NO
Fog lights = NO (turn them into brake cooling ducts)
MR suspension = NO. Leave the supercar technology to the ZL1 (and it definitely belongs there).
Dual-mode exhaust = NO. Smaller, lighter, slightly throatier mufflers that add 5hp are perfect.

Lighter wheels = YES
Big brakes = YES
Beefier suspension = YES
Race-oriented gear ratios = YES

Etc., etc.
I guess I'm describing our typical Z28 fantasy here, though, but that's very similar to what this car appears to be.

49ersXXIX · 02-06-2012, 12:38 PM

i would definitely get it if i haven't upgraded to a 2SS. Z28 would be a better name, but i don't mind the 1LE at all.

Brad02SS · 02-06-2012, 02:00 PM

Glad to see some more recent interest in this, hope they build it. Would be perfect for someone wanting something more aggressive than an SS without the ZL1 price.

68vert · 02-06-2012, 07:45 PM

Simple answer: Yes. I think about everyone likes to have more options when they walk onto their dealer lot to buy a car.
Real answer: It totally depends on the details of whats in the car...the description is sorta generic still (specifically driveline widgets). Will I buy it? Dunno, depends on the details and the price. How does it fit in the pecking order of where the Z28 will end up???
