Well seeing that hennessy likes to rip people off $100k+, but if you want to build one $31-35k for the car $19-22k for the engine. And you have about $50k +/- left over to play with.

So that engine is a supercharged engine... and that means you can push up the PSI and squeeze even more power?!

GM was told they weren't going to build the Z-28, so I guess we'll have to rely on dealerships and aftermarket companies do this if you want a turnkey car. I saw Nickey Chevrolet's car on HRPT, holy $hit, their stuff is nice, and pricey but I believe 3 of their 4 packages can be had for under 100k. Still a whole lot of dough!

Would it not be cheaper to have your LS3 forged and buy an aftermarket 3.3 ?

The reason I ask, In the Hennesy/Camaro5 link, John says it costs $ 30 K for the LS9 ?

He also goes on to say that the LS9 DOES NOT just drop in.

Goverment Motors is not going to build the Z28. But it would be sweet if they did.
