Two additional GM beancounter benefits:
1) Utilizing ZL1 components brings their unit co$t down...cheaper for the Zee, more profit for the BIG Zee
2) Same applies to the "outrageous" co$t of the LS7...more built = lower unit cost
The more commonality between 1SS AND ZL1 AND Z/28, the quicker the lil Zee will happen, at reduced cost, and at reduced "burden". And at INCREASED PROFITS for GM. After all, more units, sooner = more profits...
Based on the Chicago Announcement timeline of about 9 months to showrrom floor, using pre-developed ZL1 components potentially shaves time AND cost. But I like the NAIAS Annoucement timeline...with Spring'12 deliveries...
