-1LE - new small displacement LT engine with Z28 & ZL1 suspension, optional or deleted items such as A/C and radio, Recaro seats, mainly track oriented, suited for Boss 302 Mustang L.S. edition. Comes only standard transmission.

Why small displacement? 1LE was a suspension and brake package for the two most powerful versions of the Z28 for third gens, and a suspension upgrade for the 4th gen.
1LE would be akin to the Boss 302 LS, not the regular Boss.

-Z28 - more of a road and buyer friendly styled 1LE based, most, if not all options standard, less customer checks off not what they want. Both standard and auto trans available. Suspension stays as what it was unveiled with. Small displacement engine, same as in 1LE. Made to compete against Boss 302 Mustang.

Eh, Z28 has changed throughout the years. If we are to compare all Z28's to the first gen, then the Z died in 1969.
A higher output LS3 would be cool, but a lighter weight, hand built, 7k RPM, dry-sumped LS7 works too.
No auto trans.

-ZLI - Road friendly, but track ready after a few tweaks car. Current ZL1 tires and rims, suspension less road racing oriented, standard and auto trans available, and most important, 7.0 litre engine.Made to compete against Shelby GT500/Rush/Saleen.
|
Going to need more than 7 liters to keep up with 660-700hp.

- COPO - more track oriented ZLI. Just like 1le, standard items are optional, or removed, and comes with LSA engine. Made to compete against Ford Cobra Jet program.

COPO car is exactly that. It's a straight up and down race car.
I can overlook the fact that the Z has the LS7, because the LS7 is above and beyond the greatest of the Gen III/IV engines.
The rest of the car is pure insanity.
