Glen e is correct on all counts and this is no where near a new policy for Chevrolet. I myself learned of it the hard way: Order Workbench had my name/address but Retail Stock not Retail Sold.

It seems to happen regardless.

You can't put a customer name on a retail stock order in OWB.

How could someone expect a 2SS 1LE to be cheaper than a 1SS 1LE?

Not the whole car, just the 1LE package since the 2SS comes standard with some of the items that the 1SS gets with the 1LE option.

Gotcha, that makes more sense.

My opinion is if your going to pay for a 2SS 1LE you should suck it up and get a ZL1!

What makes you think you can't get a discount on the 1LE?

Yeah, I honestly have no idea why someone would want a 2SS 1LE. At least the option exists now for the 20 or so people on this forum that want one. We'll see if any of them actually buy one though.

Maybe the same reason people bought more 5th gen 2SS 1LEs than 1SS 1LEs. The same price gap was there on that car vs the 5th gen ZL1.

That comment is subjective. Objectively if I had an extra 15K I would!

Some people (Myself Included) cannot afford a ZL1 (Would love to!) and the Insurance price because of the charger... So a 2SS 1LE is perfect.

Plus I am an Open Road Racer. Superchargers are terrible when it comes to Open Road Racing.
Many friends have switched from the Z06's to Grand Sports because of that. So there is a nitch market for them. And I don't care for Line Lock.

I will daily drive the 2SS 1LE all year round in Kansas City... (So, I am 1 of 20).
Track: 10 - 14 times per year.
Open Road Race: 4 times per year.

I love the 1SS 1LE but it needed few things added for me to sell the concept to the family:
Blind Zone Alert (Wish I had this on my 5th Gen)
Bose Audio (Nice to have)
Dual Zone Climate (Awesome feature)
Heated/Ventilated Seats (Heated is needed in Kansas. Cooled don't care, still nice to have in Kansas)
Heated Steering (Love to have this in Kansas)
Seat/Mirror Memory Package (Since Wifey will want to drive it too)
NAV - Don't care for but it is an optional add on just like the PDR
Interior Spectrum lighting (Don't care for but it comes with)
Wireless charging (Don't care for but comes with)
Universal Home Remote
Rear Park Assist (the sensors not the camera)
Auto-dimming Mirrors
Rear Cross Traffic Alert

TBH I wanted a 2SS... 'till the 1LE was released.
My racing side wanted the ELSD, 6 Piston Brakes, Recaro's, FE4 Suspension.
The 2SS 1LE solves it. I can sell this idea to the wife.

The weight difference is so minimal that tracking or open road will not be effected.
Pricing in my area (Kansas City)
1SS 1LE - $46K
2SS 1LE - $49K (According to the dealer I am working with and the deal I am getting). That jump I can make.
Not $64K like a ZL1... (They have one on the lot.)

They don't have to mark up the 2SS 1LE because everyone that wanted a 1LE got a 1SS 1LE
They are still marking up ZL1 around here...

Ouch, your dealer is asking an awful lot on that 1SS. But they're knocking a bunch off the 2SS, so for the purposes of rationalizing your choice, it's perfect .

Because not everyone wants or needs the extra power, and not everyone likes superchargers, and some of us want to modify to reach our goals without having to remove the aforementioned supercharger.

So just a couple of valid reasons, hope that helps you understand better!
