Default What's up with the LT1 hate in the price market??

Is it me or has anyone else noticed that some of the LS1 stuff is cheaper than LT1 stuff???
example:Spec clutches for LT1s
1993-1997 LT1 F-body, Stage 1 $399.99 -$100 difference to LS1 stage1
1993-1997 LT1 F-body, Stage 2 $439.99 -$50 difference to LS1 stage2
1993-1997 LT1 F-body, Stage 3 $529.99 -$110 difference to LS1 stage3
1993-1997 LT1 F-body, Stage 4 $539.95 -$40 difference to LS1 stage4
1993-1997 LT1 F-body, Stage 5 does not exist but, at the current pattern that is being showed a stage 5 would cost $659.99 -$120 difference to LS1 stage5
example:Spec clutches for LS1s
1998-2002 LS1 F-body, Stage 1 $299.99
1998-2002 LS1 F-body, Stage 2 $389.99
1998-2002 LS1 F-body, Stage 3 $419.99
1998-2002 LS1 F-body, Stage 4 $439.99
1998-2002 LS1 F-body, Stage 5 $499.99

The way I see it, it just dosent add up! Why would Lt1 clutches be so much more expensive than the LS1 clutches? Look at stages!!!!!!

They most likely produce more ls1 clutches than lt1, therefore making manufacturing cheaper, making retail cheap, making you angry
