I traded in my '14 SS 1LE and got this:

Only got to drive it home from the dealer so not much of a driving impression. But I can tell it's a more intense car. The LS7 is a bit louder than the LS3 combined with virtually zero sound deadening makes it seem way throatier inside the cockpit. Seats are magnificent Recaro's, and the suspension has the spool valve shocks made by Multimatic in Canada. I've watched all of the engineering videos online. The company worked side by side with the Z/28 team to develop the perfect shocks for it. They would send the force vector they wanted to Multimatic and the engineers would go into their workshop and build a new valve in under an hour. Take it right back out on the track and see how the new parts do! As soon as we get a big rain to clean all of the salt out, I'll get some better feedback.

Did they resolve the ls7 valve drop issue by the time they put it in the camaro?

Honestly I'm not sure. I haven't heard of anybody having issues though. From what I remember it was a valve seal issue with the first Z06 LS7's way back in 2008 or so.

They are dropping big time if you shop around. Mine stickered at $76k. I picked it up for $46200. Only has 4000 miles. I've seen them as low as $35991. Too bad I won't really be able to drive it for a few weeks.
