Fiance has a 1LE and it was the first care under 60k I've ever been in that I said 'yup, I'd trade my Z for this.' The 1LE is a beast of a car and in my opinion out performs the Z in every area, despite it's hefty weight. And I suppose if you look at magazine testing the 1LE does indeed out perform the Z. So I'm excited to see that the new SS is even better and also lighter. Though I think we may wait a year or two to see if they offer a 1LE option or similar before we trade in her 2014.
Chevy has had 2 major and 1 minor redesign since 2010 with 2 major engine changes. Ford has had 2 major and minor redesigns since 2009 and 2 major and one minor engine changes since 2009. Nissan has had one model and engine since 2009. Nissan needs to step up their game to a whole other level if they want to compete in this price range. Japan in general needs to pull their head out of their asses and go back to the days when they actually made cars worth driving in a good price range. I've owned a Z since I was 17, nearly half my life, and my current Corvette is my first Domestic car ever. The way trends are going with car companies I may never go back imports, my old Z's will be enough
