Thanks, I am really happy with how it feels....I drove a 2010 Firebreather (ss w/blower) on Bull Run (NY to Vegas) and then another 2011 SS in AZ last year and said I would never buy one. The 1LE package changes the car completely, something like 8 seconds a lap difference on GMs road course.

Sounds awesome. I rode in last year and couldn't believe the difference in how it felt compared to the regular car - I can imagine how big it is when you are actually driving! If anyone doubts the difference, then go find one. It is amazing.

nice pick up! Never knew they came with the Z06 trans that is pretty cool.

The 3:91 is offset by the trans gearing so there is negligible acceleration advantage over a non 1LE SS. It is suppose to be better geared for the road course.

SS/1LE: MM6 w/ 3.91
1st gear ratio: 2.66 10.42
2nd gear ratio: 1.78 6.97
3rd gear ratio: 1.30 5.09
4th gear ratio: 1.00 3.91
5th gear ratio: 0.74 2.90
6th gear ratio: 0.50 1.96

SS M10 w/ 3.45
1st gear ratio: 3.01 10.38
2nd gear ratio: 2.07 7.14
3rd gear ratio: 1.43 4.93
4th gear ratio: 1.00 3.45
5th gear ratio: 0.84 2.90
6th gear ratio: 0.57 1.97
