If I had a 2010 with 50K+ miles on it I would probably trade in for a year old ZL1, not a 1LE.

Since I have a 2012 with 18K miles, I will only lose my ass!

Yeah, I know... and I agree. It's just disappointing to see the new models come out with what the 2010's should have had from the get go.

I couldn't trade in my SS either. ....1st CGM built. 2nd THR... I've got thousands in mods...full on suspension which will be better than the 1LE, but damnit if I need all the rear end parts to be beefy enough to handle what I want to do to it in the long run. At least GM is getting smart and is seeing what the aftermarket companies are doing and are able to do the same for less $$. When the time comes, I'm getting that entire 1LE rear end gears, shafts, etc etc to go along with the blower (which will also come one of these days....damnit. ...I gotta quit dreaming....)...

For now, I'm working on the 1LE side skirts since I jacked up my right side skirt going over a damn curb (once again, me losing my mind) and I also want to pick up the front splitter just to complete the look.

Working on wheels. Fingers crossed that happens. And if so, I might be able to get the gears. Should be set for a while. Jeezus, the wife is gonna hate me $$$

I cant find any info on the cradle. All I keep getting is the millions of bushings available for it.

I owe more than its worth, and cant afford a $700 payment on $41k. Plus all the work I already have in this car, I dont want to undo.

Mine is a manual. Im not gonna retune until I swap cams. The cost of tuning starts to add up. I expect an OE quiet rear diff. The pattern looks great.

I was going to ask this also. I'm going to see what my dealer says and if I can just get them cheaper through Maureen and have them shipped I will.
