Why? you can order the stripes, you can buy all of the aftermarket equipment that they added to the stage 1s, plus a cam for less than what was originally charged. Yea you wont be badged as one, but youll still spec out as one plus some.

1) It been said " TO COPY IS THE BEST FORM OF FLATTERY " so they say.

2) You better be ready,When people ask, {Is it real ????????????} NO!

3) But, the big problem with cloning is, some un-informed buyer gets stung.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

4) We all could have self-built for less? (not really) In 2002, to take a new SS and add what GMMG/BERGER did with fiskes wheels and all the goodies, it would cost about the same, but we chose to own something unique (with badges)

Remember I said unbadged.

you could get an SS for under 30k and the GMMG were going for 35kish. For 5k you can get a lot of equipment and have money left over. Thats not including the oem equipment that could have been sold off for a little more money. But that is old information the real question was why you would want to do it essintially 3 years after the fact. The prices have changed, the engine tech has grown by leaps and bounds. We have common racers with 9 sec ls1s, Ls7s with 500hp, 400hp Cadilacs, 400hp HEMis, 450hp Cobras, There was none of that in '02. Why do I mention those last 3 because if those existed in '02 I'm sure we would be looking at more HP from the WU program which would have made all the aftermaket tuner level 1 pkgs obsolete
