No, the point is some people would prefer naturally aspirated over forced-induction, that would be the difference in the cars..obviously the price would be higher due to the LS7 being hand built...I don't see how everyone missed my point but then again the ones saying they missed it are missing everyone else's point on here too. I'll try again...recertifying a LS7 to make 550HP would be a lot cheaper and stuffing it in a 1LE with R comp tires than it is recertifying and testing the some 2000 parts that are different on the current Z/28. They purposely went overboard on design and price so that they could "justify" the price and keep the volume low and still make money. It all has to do with CAFE not bringing a car that "MOST" would be happy to pay 62K for and more than 1500 units.
