^ Pretty sure the LS3 block is stronger than the LS1 block.

Last week it was $3.69 for regular, shot up to $4.39 in a day because some oil refineries shut down in Illinois or some bullshit like that. All a big scam/conspiracy IMO!

Depends on what look you are going for. If I do the front conversion i'll be doing the Z06 versus the ZR1 only because I think it looks a little cleaner and of course without the Z06 badge on it. They are both carbon fiber except the Z06 front is about $600 cheaper.

Ya it does look cleaner. To me the 2 vents on the fenders just make it look more sporty. If that makes sense. I agree with the no badges! I saw a Z06 bumoer for sale 400 bucks i didnt know if that was a good deal or not. (Non painted but prepped)

The GS, Z06, and ZR1 share the same front bumper but the fenders are different. The wider wide bodies are cool but require even wider wheels.
