But I'm just a layman.
LS7 vs LSA is at least 10k, Z07 for Corvette minus MR is still a 5 k option. Yes A/c may have been an option in the old days but now you will pay for the engineering to remove it. You will pay not only Goethe low volume wiring harness but the cost to test and engineer it.

This car is wayyyyyy more than just add and subtract parts. It's the cost to engineer and buy LOW volume parts. And spread that engineering over a small number of cars and the price only goes up.

Can't just add and subtract parts.
