So excited about the Performance Pack Level 2

I agree, the stuff is garbage. I've had it in a few cars now, I can't believe it's passed off as a premium product when it definitely is not.

Nothing screams of quality like fake suede marketed as an exotic material.

Alcantara is the worst. I have it on all the Surface Pro tablets at work and ALL of them in a year start to look dingy. I can't even imagine how it will hold up to while driving for 3-5 or more years. I'd rather not have a steering wheel that I have to constantly clean and care for. Just give me leather or a soft plastic instead.

I have NO idea why people brag about alcantara. I hate the stuff it's durable as wet paper.

Agreed. I remember when it was reviewed in an CTS-V a few years ago in a long-term test by Car and Driver. They said the steering wheel wore down in no time and felt like cheap garbage.

It's not an upgrade. It's a charade.

So, you can't live without navigation (that's what cell phones are for, plus you get on star navigation even on a 1SS 1LE), blind spot monitoring (use the mirrors and be aware of your surroundings), Bose (who cares? the exhaust note is music to me), park sensors (meh, again, be aware of your car's corners). You get more on the 1SS 1LE than you do on a "base" 1SS. You get alcantara on the flat bottom steering wheel, shift knob, Recaros, and rear seats in addition to leather surrounding the alcantara which you don't get on a regular 1SS. Power seats are also fully adjustable on both the driver and passenger sides. You also get HUD, 4 drive modes, independent settings for the exhaust, steering, eLSD, and magnetic ride suspension. I thought Chevy had the worst interior quality wise of the big three, but man was I wong. It's a gorgeous interior and the materials have a high quality feel including the stitched dash insert.

As you know, in addition to the above, you get eLSD, 3.73s, additional coolers (trans, dif, oil...), forged 20s, unique spoiler and splitter, active exhaust, braces, unique spring rates and lowered height, functional hood vents, 6 piston brembos front, 4 piston rear, etc, etc, etc...

I know it is different for every person, but for me the visibility isn't that big of a deal. Took me all of 10 minutes to get used to it.

It is a phenomenal car at a phenomenal price. I just bought a brand new 1SS 1LE for $41,500 out the door. At first I wanted the Mustang, but once the PP2 was released, it was no match for the 1LE package. My wife on the other hand just ordered a PP1 GT which is why I'm still on this forum. I'm not a brand guy, I like all performance cars.

They got the stance and wheel offsets correct also.

For daily driving all the extras on the 1LE wouldn't make a difference especially since I'd never track it. I definitely didn't want Recaros either as they're never comfortable to me. The Mag shocks I tried in another SS and I honestly couldn't tell the difference between settings. All in all the 1LE package wasn't worth an extra $5-6K to me. Not even close. I just don't think the Camaro is a $40K car period. It's got great performance but it never feels like it should cost $40K. Nor does a Mustang GT IMO. Low $30s yes.
