Some pedals and cosmetics don't spell "performance" to me.

Don't kill the messenger.

 

I wasn't shooting at you, and I'd already seen this. It just seems sad that GM's idea of "performance" is some cosmetics. Color me unimpressed.

that has to be the lamest package ever offered...

 

Yea, might as well put a "Type R" badge on it.

You know how ricers think the more stickers they put on their cars the faster they are!!

I think Chevrolet is buying into that deal.

 

Impressed not, too. Though no doubt Jake addicts will be laying out the cash for it.

 

Hopefully there are some weight savings beyond getting a 1LT and some other upgrades beyond the paint and stickers, but a 1LT with Z51 and NPP stickers for $52,300. Add in the HUD and figure it would sticker at $53k before anything else (e.g. stickers and embroidery). So I guess you get a slightly dressed up 1LT for the price of a 3LT.

 

How much would it cost to add the differential cooler to a non-CSC?

 

I believe Acura actually put a different engine in the Type R Integras.

What GM is doing is a real joke!!!!

I actually got excited for a moment before I read the details. I was thinking something along the line of an "RS" model for Porsches, or the "Stradale" for the Ferraris. Imagine a true "lightweight" base vette on the track!!!!!!!!!

 

I don't like the cosmetics either.
