Then they are machined and the programs have already been engineered so it is a matter of making the raw head/block finished for assembly. At this point we have reached what would be the two most expensive pieces of the engine. And to my original point - is the cost that much different? Quote:

The LS7 is the worst engine you an add FI to. But once again you are twisting my words just to be an ass. As for the trick engines it depends on use and builder. I have seen up to 3 years for street car engines. Not cheap but not 25k either. As for your ROI - don't you think the LS7 makes a pretty good ROI? This is what I am getting at. If the engine made the same or less than the LS3 in terms of margin - they wouldn't make it. No way would they want to deal with the CAFE crap. And finally (as Im done with this thread after this post) this car exists to fill the high end void the Z06/ZR1 filled. Those cars were huge profit centers that are no more. At least for now. So why not make a top of the line Camaro to appease the fans and still generate those big dollar sales? It is this reasoning that I believe that things like the engine and the brake system are very sweet - but not that expensive to GM. So yes they will turn a nice profit on this car. And it probably will be 70k from a dealer. But that doesn't mean they couldn't have built and sold it for 50k. Have fun |

I dunno Boris...Every mod that adds truly adds horsepower (just look at the aftermarket stuff) is gonna be expensive...
Even if it costs them the same as any other engine to build, the horsepower and image alone will command a higher price....If you don't pay it, you won't have it...could be the most expensive "factor" in it....Higher cost to build, which I'm sure it is, will have a higher mark-up in and of itself in all areas... |

Try 602 Z/28 units built for 2014, if you understand the significance of that number. Same reasoning behind why GM built 69 units of the 2012 COPO Camaro.
