They’re too heavy - there’s no reason for a plastic car to weigh 4000 lbs. Can’t wait for the next gen to debut on the ATS platform - LS1 weight with LS3 (or better) power. Should be fun

It’s a little bit more then that. The 1LE cars come with a 3.91 rear ratio opposed the the standard 3.45 of a regular SS. The PCV system is also different, it’s basically the same as a grand sport vette in that it’s designed to prevent too much oil being drawn into the intake when you road race the cars. The factory performance exhaust and short throw shifter are also part of the package. It does have ZL1 wheels and tires, but the other suspension changes are unique to the 1LE pacakge.

You can get the 1LE without the exhaust and shifter… It’s not specific to the package. I’ve seen a few 1LE’s with the standard exhaust, shifter, and steering wheel. New for 2014 is the optional Recaro seats as well.

I’m interested to see what the price on a 2014 with that package. Personally I think the new body style looks a lot better. Hopefully things go my way and I just might be able to order one in a year or 2.
