Three's a Crowd
Here we go again: the false hope, or in some cases fear, of a massive crack-up of the two major parties, with third- and fourth- and maybe more-party candidates running viable races for the presidency.
It's not going to happen.
This time, it's Ron Fournier who reports on insiders who envision the parties breaking apart. In the world of Fournier and his sources, "social change and a disillusioned electorate threaten the entire two-party system." The result could be Rand Paul and a regular Republican both landing on the ballot in November 2016—and if Hillary Clinton doesn't run, perhaps a Democratic splintering as well.
As Brendan Nyhan documents, we've heard all of this before (and Fournier is a specialist). I won't say it's impossible that we'll get a "serious" third-party candidate in one of the next few presidential cycles, but it's not likely, and to the larger point, the parties are most certainly not cracking up. To the contrary: The Democratic and Republican Parties are unusually strong right now, which is why politics is so polarized.
If anything, significant third-party runs, in which a candidate seemed to have at least a solid chance at either winning electoral votes or getting at least 10 percent of the national vote, appear to be ebbing. They showed up in 1948, 1968, 1980, 1992, and 1996, but not since then.
Third-party runs are usually an effect of an unpopular president running for re-election; that accounts more or less for each of those postwar cases, although the incumbent in 1968 dropped out and the incumbent in 1996 wound up much more popular by election day than he had been earlier in the cycle. By that pattern, we could easily have had significant third-party runs in 2004 and especially 2012 (since Barack Obama entered his re-election year with approval ratings under 50 percent), but it didn't happen.
The logic behind the timing of third-party runs is pretty straightforward. When an incumbent president is popular and running for another term—think Ronald Reagan in 1984—most loosely attached voters will vote for the incumbent; the hard-core opposition, naturally, votes for its candidate. If, however, the incumbent is unpopular, then those loosely attached voters are up for grabs. Think about 1992, when George H.W. Bush was unpopular. Most swing voters had supported him over a Democrat in 1988 (since, after all, he won solidly in that year) so switching to the Democrats would be, in a sense, admitting they made a mistake. Voting for Ross Perot (or, early in the cycle, planning to vote for Perot) might be more like switching to something newly available.
Nor can disgruntled voters do much in the presidential primaries. Even if the incumbent president is challenged, as George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter were, he's unlikely to lose or to give significant policy concessions to the faction supporting the challenger. After the primaries are over, those who supported the primary challenge may for a time be open to a third party. They'll usually wind up switching back to the party they are normally attached to, and third-party candidates fade, but in the meantime it's a source of at least ephemeral third-party support.
In 2016, however, with no incumbent on the ballot, that logic doesn't hold. Both parties appear to be on equal footing, and usually put up reasonably strong candidates—and the nomination process tends to work out whatever divisions exist within the parties.
More generally, the GOP and Democratic parties appear to be quite healthy. It's worth noting at the local level, even a successful independent run usually only demonstrates how strong the parties really are. That certainly seems to be the story with Angus King's independent run for the Senate from Maine in 2012. King, as he began his independent run, appeared to be wildly popular and a real threat to win. So the party closest to his positions—the Democrats—essentially absorbed him, abandoning their own candidate. When he arrived in the Senate, he wound up caucusing with the Democrats. Odds are he'll wind up being hard to distinguish from the rest of the Democratic caucus as long as he remains in the Senate, just like independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Sure, he may have more room to take idiosyncratic positions on some policy issues, but that's about it.
At any rate, while rogue candidates remain possible, the parties as a whole are strong; in fact, over the last 30 or so years the parties have expanded to fill up more and more of the political space of the nation—not less. The partisan press now competes and sometimes eclipses the old neutral press; partisan think tanks and other party-oriented policy makers are far more prominent now than in the midcentury era in which neutral expertise was valued by both parties; and of course in Congress partisan polarization is at record highs. Voters still report hating the parties, but they vote more like partisans now than they did in the 1960s and 1970s. Those are not signs of a coming party crack-up.
Certainly, the parties have their problems, and individual decisions matter quite a bit when it comes to third party runs, and are inherently difficult or impossible to predict. Yes, a zillionaire could always jump in; yes, it's always possible that a losing faction in one of the parties could run a spoiler campaign, despite all the incentives not to that usually hold. Overall, however, there's really no reason to believe that third parties are going to be any more successful in the next decade than they have been for the last two. Even if pundits and even some practitioners always see it coming.

I'm inclined to believe the two-party *system* is not going to be replaced, but history shows us that at times of severe stress on the political system, political parties with no solutions to current problems *can* be displaced. (See 1859-60.) When neither political party is capable of governance, the *system* is wide open.
Nature abhors a vacuum, and yet, here we are. When both Republicans and Democrats have failed, a political party that asserts real leadership can make inroads into displacing one of the entrenched parties.

I suppose everyone has forgotten when the Republican Party had 1/2 the registration of the Democratic Party, more than half of the Republicans were "Rockerfeller Republicans", and they won lots of elections. That was a mere 50 years ago. I don't think they are going the way of the dinosaur -- yet. A lot of hubris, a lot of humbling, and -- They'll Be Back!

I'm not sure why this subject keeps coming up this way, as if the failure of 3rd parties in America reflects some kind of political failure, or lack of will. It has nothing to do with the weakness of our politics and politicians, nor does it reflect some sort of corruption.
As long as elections are structured in a winner take all, first person to get 51% wins, there is a natural tendency to produce a duopoly sort of structure. 3rd parties can't really break this down from a practical 'game theory' view.
There will be no success for 3rd parties in America unless the structure of the elections is changed to a proportional representation system of some sort. And even then, things like the congress committees are also structured in a winner-take-all kind of fashion.
It's just a deeply structural aspect of the whole system.

Companies Buying Back Shares
It looks like share buybacks is back in the headlines again. My blogging life began officially in September 2005, and share buybacks was my very first posting. Seven years on, and the conclusions are still the same.
September 2005: Share Buybacks' Posting
What should investors' opinion be of these share buybacks? Should companies make known their intentions?
We need to understand first why there is a stockmarket in the first place? First and foremost, it is there to allow companies to raise cheap funds to fund their growth strategies. Secondly, it is to allow for individuals and other entities to participate in the growth of these companies. Other reasons are secondary in nature. A company raises funds to facilitate corporate strategies, hopefully they will make money, preferably higher than the prevailing interest rate (if not, all funds should put money in the bank and close shop). Successful companies may keep accumulating profits to prepare itself for two general reasons: market down cycles, or in order to take advantage of opportunities when there is a market/industry correction/sell-down.
Companies should only indulge in share buybacks when accumulated funds are in excess for the above two reasons. This is because share buybacks will deplete reserves and may not be easily convertible to cash when there is a down cycle or market correction – the time when funds may be needed for those two purposes. Companies doing share buybacks must and should consider this aspect before embarking on the said exercise. Even then, the company can still decide on other options to do with the excess cash – give back to shareholders in the form of dividends or bonus – especially in a matured industry.
Companies raise cash for investing in growth, if they find no good investing opportunities after a prolonged period and cash flow is healthy, the funds should be returned to shareholders. Companies doing share buybacks are basically saying that that is the best way to spend their excess cash. To arrive at that decision, they must be convinced that their share is undervalued compared to their company's prospects. A company's share price may not reflect its true potential – who knows the company's fundamentals better than the people running them.
Then we have to look at why management is doing this – is it to improve share price via reducing the free float; and/or improve the earnings per share (but that only happens when they cancel the shares). If a company has to resort to improving their share price by reducing free float, it is usually not successful – a simple glance at the past 2 years' price performance of most of these companies will tell you that. By reducing free float, it is a futile exercise as the company will have to accumulate a significant amount to prop up the share price – that seems artificial no matter how you look at it as the only group really keen to own the shares is the company themselves.
Of course, share buybacks can successfully engineer higher share prices by massively reducing free float but they will have to meet regulations for minimum free float in the market place. The danger is that share buybacks can be taken advantage as "insider trading" by management as it involves market timing – hence the authorities must be more vigilant when it comes to the timing of share buybacks. If a company buyback the shares and do not cancel them, are they waiting to unload when price is higher? That is tantamount to trading in their own shares or having an investment portfolio. Is that part of the company's normal course of business? Can this activity account for a substantial amount of profit for the company? How should analysts regard this profit – probably not enthusiastically as it is considered as a "one-off."
It is safe to say that companies should make their intention known to the public when doing share buybacks – is it for future placements to institutions; to be cancelled, if so please state a time frame; not to be cancelled, but to be sold back into the market when price is higher; or to be disbursed as bonus. To me, that is vital information and I believe investors will rate the stock accordingly with the new information.
Bottom line, if it is not going to be cancelled, share buybacks are not really that big a positive in rating the company. Most times, companies who do share buybacks will not see significant improvements in their share price – investors do not rate a company higher because of that as investors are not buying the stock in the first place for various other reasons, and the free float is not really a major reason. Any worthy share buyback has to be cancelled for it to be effective.
Companies not doing that, need to ask themselves more questions as to why their share price is not at a level where it should be – are investors not happy with the management's vision; is the company not communicating its plans effectively; has the company not been able to chart a credible track record; have the financial results for the company been haphazard or inconsistent; is the company too unfocused or too diverse that nobody even wants to follow/research the company; how is the management track record been in treating minority shareholders; have transactions or deals been really fair to all shareholders or been forced down investors' throat (oops, getting too specific here) – chances are the stock will be rated properly if the above concerns have been addressed. Hence most share buybacks will not be entirely successful as it is fighting against the "enemy" when the "enemy" is really internal not and not external.

I think, in a down market like this, no amount of share buyback will help to shore up the stock prices.. I suspect, major shareholders will benefit, as they can increase their equity interest in a company, without spending a sen of their own money. I also wonder, if a major shareholder interst nudged over the 50% mark as a result of the buyback activity, will there be exemption from the takeover code?????
Some of these companies that are active share buyback counters, they have the funds to engage buyback, but are very stingy with dividends... like that, how can the share price move??? Give good dividends, and ensure a healthy float so investors can trade in and out with ease, and I shld imagine share prices wld move...
- jake said...
Would like to know ,what is thier intention of buying back their shares?I have followed KONSORT for a very long time.Since they are buying the price of their share has increase 20%.Would appreciate if you could give me insight on this particular counter.
- Salvatore_Dali said...
i dont particularly follow konsort anymore ... but it would be fair to say that there is hardly any institutional or long term holders of the shares ... if yr shares has dropped so much that nobody wants them, and u do share buyback, the px may move up... again, no intention declared on what they want to do with the shares.. if u jump in u will be jumping in blind
if there is really very good news (substantial contracts), dont u think the insiders will be buying... why use company funds to buy? ... probably personally they r already maxed out, or have mortgaged their shares... and need a bigger margin line, maybe i dont know.. maybe... but certainly not a reason to buy
- MP said...
SD are you saying that there's the possibility of using xs company funds to warehouse shares for favored parties at below market rates?
- Salvatore_Dali said...
no, thats not what i meant.... a lot of senior mgmt hold stocks, and a lot of them also have margin lines... if they read mkts wrongly and the bulk of the shares under margin is yr own company shares... one way to save u fm being margin called or to increase yr line of margin is to boost yr company's share px... if investors do not find yr stock appealing but yr company has some funds, in some cases, share buybacks may be a way to do that

An excellent article and a good chance for me to ask some questions from an expert.
I have been under the impression that window-dressing refers to, say, company year-end is Dec 31 and someone wants their company's investments to look good, so they make sure a minimum number of shares under their portfolio are bought at the end of last trading day. It will look good on paper based on the market price at Dec 31. But I used to come across journalists referring to window-dressing activities way before last trading day.
The other point is that even during a stretch of bear market, there is description of 'profit-taking activities' which pulled down the prices!
- Salvatore_Dali said...
technically speaking, only investment companies do window dressing, esp gov related investment bodies so that their performance looks ok.. companies themselves dont do that... window dressing can occur a few days before book closing as these may be fake window dressing... ie... buying and selling among same funds... if i have a fund that has 18% return and another at 9%, you can either shift some positions around to make things look better, maybe not in actual performance but may improve how the portfolio would look in terms of actual holdings and exposure
we never know, maybe they even adjust a historical entry price which would make the poor fund as having some gains... it happens
thats the journalists and analysts fault... if mkt drops from 1500 to 1300 over a couple of month, and dips to 1100 over another month... where got profit to take... but it sounds better than cutting losses
- KoSong Cafe said...
Thanks for the information.
I find the information given in newspapers on listed companies' PE, DY and NTA unreliable. It is a case of 'use it at your own risk' and nobody bothers as the mistakes are too numerous to point out. Isn't it worse to have wrong information than no information?
For eg. penny stocks having fantastic PE ratios or high NTAs. I use Maybank's online stock info and even that is not totally accurate. For eg. after new shares (bonus or sub-division or whatever is called where 1.00 reduced to 10sen) the highest and lowest prices are not adjusted.
So poor people who relies on cheap info from newspaper literally 'koo' (Cantonese for guess) when they buy or sell 'koo phiu'!
- hng said...
Dear Dali
Do do agree company buy-back their share only if company is in net-cash position? I wonder why a lot of property stock buy back share while having borrowing in balance sheet or high gearing. Company such as YNH property, sunrise, Glomac even raise fund via private placement or right issue to increase working capital (Property is capital intensive sector). But why these company instead use fund for buying back their own share? Can't justify their motive! They should channel their fund to increase ROE. Another example is IGB, which trade its own share by buy/sell in the market. On the other hand, YTL power, actively perform share buyback and latter distribute it as dividend in species, however, the amount of oustanding share remain unchanged or even getting higher as convertible bond/warrant exercise their option. Other example like Fimacorp, Daiman development, Jaycorp etc are low volume trading stocks and yet still wanna to buyback share!
- DanielXX said...
Share buybacks have been accused of helping to support share prices in companies which offer their executives generous options, so sometimes the intentions behind these share buybacks can be a bit dodgy. End of the day, it still boils down to whether you feel the fundamentals warrant the company exchanging its cash for shares, the main metric being the benefit(earnings) that each share commands relative to its cost(price) ie. PE.

BAYOU GEORGE — Bay County's incinerator has undergone large-scale changes since a fire knocked it offline in February 2012, including a new agreement requiring its operator to pay $150,000 to help cover the facility's insurance costs.
EnGen LLC of Lynn Haven previously paid nothing toward the premium, said Joe Tannehill, the company's managing partner, but that's all changed. Before the fire, the facility was under the county's overall policy — covering buildings, vehicles, etc. — but after the fire, there was a claim for tens of millions, and the facility took a standalone policy, which costs about $685,000 annually.
"As you can imagine, after a big claim the new premium to get new insurance for this facility went up," Tannehill said of the incinerator, which started operating again in January.
EnGen was not negligent or at fault in the fire, but the company is "part of the team" and was running the facility when it happened, Tannehill said.
"As a sign of good faith and to acknowledge that this happened on our watch, we are contributing $150,000 [annually] toward the higher insurance premium," he said.
The County Commission approved the amended agreement earlier this month.
So far the county has received $33.8 million in claim proceeds following the fire, according to Eve Tooley, the county's director of risk management.
"Prior to the last claim, the premium portion for the incinerator [in the overall policy] was approximately $303,000 annually," Tooley said via email.
But, Tooley noted, the claim proceeds paid for new equipment and buildings, which means they are now more expensive to insure. So, the claim was not the sole reason for the dramatic increase in insurance costs. She said the county's premium — prior to the last claim, with the incinerator on its policy — was about $1.2 million.
"Again, our master policy is a fluid policy, with additions and deletions, as needed," she said.
EnGen contract
EnGen currently is under a 12-year contract with the county and receives $60,000 a month to run the facility. It will not receive additional money from the county for contributing to the insurance premium.
Still, Tannehill tried to put the situation in a positive light. He said the facility should run more efficiently now, so that will generate more power and thus more revenue to help cover the $150,000 expense. He also said the new premium essentially provides the same level of coverage.
The county also appears to have a strong position in the contract. It has an option to terminate for "any reason," including mere convenience, provided it gives EnGen six months notice, Tannehill said. EnGen has been operating the facility since the mid-2000s and has about 45 employees.
New safeguards
The incinerator is a sophisticated operation, which got a little more cutting edge following the fire.
Tannehill gave The News Herald a tour Friday, explaining the process by which it transforms trash into energy and what precautions have been taken following the fires.
After the shutdown, the county constructed a new 4,000-square-foot administration building a few hundred yards away from the incinerator, allowing any big future fires to be contained, while EnGen would manage it from the unattached building.
The county also added a second 500,000-gallon water reservoir, which connects to a sprinkler system and water cannons that would spray down any fires on the "tipping floor," where all of the trash is brought.
"We more than doubled the capacity of the fire suppression system," Tannehill said.
The old system turned on, during the last major fire, but it didn't put it out, Tannehill said. The hope is that the new system will more effective and fully extinguish such a fire.
Tannehill said fire is an "occupational hazard" for an incinerator, and often smoldering refuse can be brought in, and there's the potential for spontaneous combustion. And small-scale fires have the potential to grow into something larger.
EnGen's control room operator, Marcus Cowan, said since the incinerator has been back online there's only been one small fire. It was scooped up, taken outside the tipping floor building and extinguished.
Cowan said these small fires come along about every six months and it's a relatively simple procedure to get them outside and eliminate them. Larger fires would require using the sprinkler system and water cannons.
The tipping floor building also is brand new, after the old one was razed. The new building was essentially completed last fall, but its fire suppression system wasn't ready until January, Tannehill said.
"We weren't, obviously, going to run without a fire protection system," he said.
But, it's up and running now and generating electricity. On Friday morning, it was creating 10.7 megawatts. It takes about 2 megawatts to supply the facility's electricity needs, so the rest is surplus.
The goal isn't to make money on the incinerator; it's to keep the county's tipping fees competitive and extend the landfill life. Running trash through the incinerator means it will take up only 10 percent of the space it would have unburned, Tannehill said.
On an average day, the incinerator produces about 200 tons of ash, but takes in about 500 tons of trash. It also pulls about 15 tons of metal a day from the refuse, which is offered as scrap on the open market, Tannehill said.
"It's sold to the highest bidder, and yet it's another revenue stream for the solid waste department," he said.

Tiffany, Jean Schlumberger Bird on a Rock pin. Indeed.
Chanel Fine Jewelry, platinum and diamond ring, Camelia collection.
Mish Jewelry, Lotus. Mish is available in Kansas City at Hall's.
That's it, now I know why we connect, for the love of hair and Grandmother's jewels.
I never ever saw my Grandmother with her hair down, nor a brooch of some sort that looked as if it landed in heaven.
Heavenly post and any one of those badges would be well earned. Love that bird on the rock.
Oh, Mrs. Blandings! These are exquisite & lovely. Our tastes are so similar; we really must be long lost sisters, or at least cousins, somewhere along the way, separated at birth. You got a bigger portion of style and talent for writing. I did get the hair, tho.
I still love your Chinese turquoise beads best, but the Mish pins are great.
Patricia - the bird is perfect for you!
Emma - I envy the good hair; thank goodness I found Shelby. He keeps me out of paper bags.
Courtney - there is always room for more jewelry - but the turquoise bead will always be beloved.
You amuse me every morning with these wonderful posts. Your humor is right on target for today's super women, the mom's balancing it all. Thank you!
btw...I have great grandmother jewelry. My grandmother loved to "dress" and always wore fine costume jewelry. Thank you to her too!
I love fine, proper, ladylike jewelry too! Love the Seaman Schepps shell earrings- a good friend has them and I always drool when she wears them!
I picked up some amazing vintage pins when i lived in wales, usually at some church fete or a car boot sale. Someone selling off granny's goods. Unfortunately, they were all stolen.
Oh my goodness, so did you say you were kindly giving away one of these jewels to a lucky reader :)
These are gorgeous and my inherited pieces are my most favorite collection. I never wear a scarf without pining one of my grandmother's hat pins to hold it closed and I seldom leave the house without a bracelet that belonged to Mom. Being ladylike is so much fun!
Dianne - inherited jewelry is the best. Even when it's wrong, it's right.
Linda - my mother-in-law has the Seaman Schepps (thanks for naming them for me) earrings as well. Every time she wears them I'm preoccupied trying to figure out, would I want the gold detail? What stone would I want on the ends? Stones on the shell? No, too much, I think. And on and on.
Meg - I often worry about buying vintage jewelry. I'm concerned that it might be stolen - on the flip side, I can fret and fret and fret about it. "No one wanted this? No one? Who stuck this in a box and said, 'Maybe we can sell it?'" It's troubling.
Courtney - you are lucky to have a family collection. I have pieces of my mother's and grandmother's that are on regular rotation. And, if I ever hit the big time, I promise to do a jewelry give away. Total heaven.
I suppose that I am in the minority of men who will tell you that I like a huge piece of jewelry or two on a woman. Those massive cocktail rings... why not? A chunky necklace or five strands of pearls... you bet. A bone cuff? Well, that was my first gift to Mrs. E. while we were both in our 20's...
A little glamour, it's really what the world needs.
E&E - I knew you would be with me on this one. The bone cuff, is, of course, one of the classics. My mother had similar piece that she bought for herself in Santa Fe; I wear it often. Mr. Blandings is an excellent jewelry buyer and obvious hint-picker-upper. The best guys are.

We learned right here that WWE is conducting surveys in New York with past and current wrestling fans of all age groups. Instead of a survey I think you'll learn more if you let them plan the future of WWE. Logging every storyline the poeple come up with into one file then seeing what is consistent. Then make the changes.

What Worked: The Lethal Lottery concept placed 20+ wrestlers names into a spinning barrel and were drawn Randomly and On Air to make up unique Tag Teams. These Tag Teams would pit friend vs. friend

They probably should have called it Z28. Or Track Rat. Somehow, 1LE doesn't have the same head-slapping ring to it as Boss 302 or Boss 302 Laguna Seca. Hey, as one Chevy engineer put it, at least they didn't call it IROC. That's pretty much where our complaints about the new model end. Yes, Chevy has brought back the fairly obscure 1LE designation from the late-'80s and early-'90s for its new ultra-high-performance open track machine. While the former was borne out of the need/desire to build a competitive road racer, the latest iteration is designed for the people who like to spend their weekends braking late, clipping apexes and wearing out sticky, expensive tires rather than hitting golf balls. For $3,500 over the price of a 2SS, you get a track-ready street machine that's capable of over 1g on the skidpad and according to Camaro Chief Engineer Al Oppenheiser, "will outrun a Boss 302 Laguna Seca on any track.
That's a bold claim, one we hope to verify in an upcoming issue. We will tell you this: It drives a lot like its much ballyhooed big-brother, the ZL1 on track, but it's less nose heavy without all the blower hardware up there. Think of the 1LE as "ZL1 Light and you're not too far off. Many of the lessons learned in developing the ultimate F-body were incorporated into this new version. True, the supercharged engine and magnetorheological dampers were left on the table, but you get ultra-sticky Goodyear Eagle Supercar G:2 tires all around, monotube rear shocks (instead of twin-tubes), different stabilizer bars, a unique six-speed manual gearbox with a standard air-to-liquid cooler and 3.91 gears. No automatic trans is available. Also making the journey from the ZL1 are electric power steering, dual-mode exhaust, flat-bottom steering wheel and short-throw shifter.
While the wheels and tires are the optional 10-spokes off the ZL1, the 1LE's tires are the same size all around as the ZL1's fronts--285/35ZR20. Wheels are 10 inches wide up front and 11 in the rear. As an added bonus, they drop 22 pounds from the weight of the car--not much, but it is critical unsprung rotating mass. You can read all about the hardware elsewhere, but the big question is how does it drive? Damn impressive. We saw no street time in the 1LE, but we did get a bunch of truncated laps at Gingerman Raceway in Western Michigan. Chevrolet had the course set up so you exited at pit out, but had to come back in at the pit entrance. Also, it coned off the newer addition to the track so we were using the original layout. Presumably, this protected a lot of journalists from themselves and saved a bunch of sheetmetal, but it kept us from getting into a rhythym on track. Still, we came away with the following impressions.
1 This car has tenacious grip and brakes. We have no doubt it'll back up Chevy's claim of being able to pull 1g on the skidpad. The suspension modifications and gummy Goodyears allow you to have your way with the car. It rewards good drivers without harming bad ones. Get it out of shape and it's easy to reel back in. The brakes are standard SS fare, but that's only a problem if they are inadequate, which these most certainly are not. The 14-inch Brembos up front and 13-inch rears were indefatigable, despite repeated stops from triple digit speeds and abuse from half a dozen moto-journalists.
2 It's very neutral. Sure, it'll understeer if you apex too early or too fast, but it also has enough brakes and power and whatever else you need to rotate the back end.
3 It's extremely predictable and a willing dance partner at speed. Do what you want, it's always catchable. It really does feel very much like the ZL1 on track, but perhaps one that's better balanced.
4 For $37,035 out the door (including destination), there are few cars that will be able to hang with it on a road course, making the $3,500 1LE option a real bargain if that's your bag.
The 1LE presents a wonderful combination of power, grip and brakes, and really bridges the gap between the SS and ZL1. The thing is, though, we always want more power. It's been said that this model wasn't call Z28 because there were no engine mods made to it. Which got us to wondering: What if there was a fifth-gen in the pipeline with all the suspension goodies of the 1LE, but with the 505-horse, LS7 V-8 underhood? That would be some Z28. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
