The SS will be track capable, sure, but it will be primarily focused on being a great road car. Add the 1LE if you want to get serious.

I think the Z28/ZL1 type variants are going to be insane.

The SS sounds so capable, im wondering what will they offer as a 1LE package. As the SS is totally track capable? Maybe more aggressive gear ratios and weight reduction with beefier tires?

The next Z better be one DOPE ride because right now. I cant imagine putting $40k anywhere else. And at 53" ride height (1LE may be lowered to 52"?) This car will have or be capable of a dedicated sports car center of gravity? Its unreal for a muscle car to be this spec'd out.

Yeah, but the current SS is nowhere near this track capable. Its pretty dramatic jump in capability from the camaro 5 to the camaro 6. The current 1LE has a ZL1 suspension. I guess we gonna have to wait and see what the next ZL1 will be spec'd like to figure out what improvements will trickle down to the 1LE package.

You know what I mean, though. SS will be a little more plush and compliant on the street. 1LE will be a beast.
