Cool! Congrats! What does the 1LE have over the regular SS?

If you are going to do a rear seat delete why not just get a Corvette?

Upgraded cooling for the engine/trans/diff, larger front and rear brakes/wheels/tires (tires are stickier too), PDR, eLSD/PTM from the C7, Recaro seats, specifically tuned mag ride, 3.73s, short shifter, NPP exhaust.
Details here - http://www.chevrolet.com/culture/art...-packages.html

Not bad for $45k MSRP... I'm paying a good bit less

Besides the $20k+ price difference ? That's a pretty expensive seat delete, no?

Great deal!

I actually found that exact page when I googled after asking you. I like the additional cooling, Recaros, eLSD/PTM the most. Mine has the mag ride, 3.73's and NPP. I'm looking forward to when the 1LE suspension updates become available through GM.

Such a great performance car for the money, really can't be beaten.

Yessir - I'm getting GM supplier price + whatever incentives are available at time it shows up... Which according to order tracking should be around the last week of Nov/First week of Dec

As far as the options go... I was looking at used C7Z51s and considering really stretching my budget for a C7 Grand Sport... but when I found out the performance numbers on the 1LE...
The skidpad/brake numbers and accel numbers are all within the realm of a tire/pad swap to be the same... I just couldn't justify spending $25k+ extra for a Grand Sport and not having a back seat (if I need it - I know for track events I'll be pulling it and the spare).

I just got a new job and started Monday tho, 11% raise... Should have bought the ZL1 :p Oh well.

Status 4300 for the car - it's built and was sent to an interim lot to await shipping details.

Seven 11-22-2016 10:08 PM

It's on a truck - Should be here on 11/29

Can't wait to see pictures and get your driving review!

I'm anxiously waiting for GM to release the 1LE suspension upgrade for my MRC.

If they do, it'll probably be a whole handling package (sway bars, springs, etc), I doubt it'll have a re-flash for the MRC tho :(

I'll do what it takes, love the MRC concept :)

Has your 1LE come in as expected?

Pretty cool to see they included the mag ride calibration with it!

I was told it should arrive sometime between Tues and Thurs... :)

Yeah, it was another selling point of getting MRC for me. Ability to reflash.

Sweet! I bet it's going to be hard to sleep the night before, haha. These cars are so fun to drive.

Seven 12-07-2016 10:44 PM

It has arrived, pics to come

Seven 12-09-2016 12:46 AM

OK Pics of my car... Admittedly it was 27 degrees yesterday and sunny during the day but by the time I was able to get to the dealer the sun was going down and it was getting wet out... So my pics are weak - Only the wheel, window sticker, and from behind in my house's garage.
I managed to get one in my gym garage tho, which is probably the best...

These pics are from a guy on Camaro6 with the same car (I don't have the black bowtie badges, but they're on order - color/options/etc is the same)... Way better showing of Mosaic Black Metallic in sunlight...
