I have no problem with the harsh ride. Sure, on rough country single lane roads it tends to be airborne for a few seconds and bounces laterally on the road on the small twists but I would not want to give up what the 1LE package gives me in the car for a smoother ride.
I prefer the manual trans.
I have a 6 speed manual ferrari 550 maranello front engine V12 and initially I thought my 550 was faster because it is not. The camaro gives a rougher ride than my ferrari but the steering is smoother and dampened more in the camaro so it is actually faster but it does not feel like it is.
You will not regret the 1LE suspension. It is phenomenal and makes my Ferrari pale in comparison.
I would not want to take my camaro for a 600 mile a day trip across the country but for thrashing around for several hours it is a blast. Then I am ready for a break.

The 1LE doesn't get a Magnetic suspension.
