    That's a unique marketing tool. If you're already shelling out the bucks for a Z06 or ZR1 another $490 would be worth it. I highly recommend taking a tour of the Corvette Museum if you're ever in the Bowling Green, Ky area.

    Sounds sweet, but $5800.00 to work on your own engine..... Just give me the ZR1 with the engine builders name on it.

    I was just thinking about this after looking into a few "build your own motorcycle" kits. You'd really gain a great understanding and pride in your car if you spent the time to assemble the engine from the ground up. Pretty cool in my books :Thumbsup:

    This is not a NEW CONCEPT... in the 60's and early 70's the big Detroit STEEL AMERICAN MUSCLE CARs could be factory ordered as a race ready option with your own engine transmission and rear end configuration. EPA of the late 70's and on squashed that.
    They were often sold with a disclaimer for Off Road sanction racing...LOL but you could register them anyway.

    My personal favorite and a appreciative past owner was the 1969 Dodge Dart GTS 440

    You can view Ford Fairlanes, and Chevy Corvettes,Camaros etc on many websites.


    Oh Andrew I will build you a custom MINI engine and place a special build number and your name on the Engine Block with your Stance Design wrenches CNC'd in the head.
    Anytime! :lol:
