With the Generals financial situation, IMO the chances are slim to none.

Voted 0-19%, tried to put a deposit down with Rick about 9 months ago. Things started out promising and went down hill fast from there. From that, got the feeling it was going to be scrapped. my .02

Stevep - it's a rumored very high end Vette, probably costing $90 to $100K, and having 600-650 HP. Typically rumors have it using forced induction, usually a twin turbo.

Maybe that's the ticket. In principle, they ought to be able to do it cheaper, because they don't have to replace parts; they can just put the right parts in there to begin with.

I gotta figure it's more total expense to take a normal Z, replace the cluch, rip out old pistons and replace them with forged ones, in the process just throwing out parts you've aleady payed for, than it is just go build the dang thing that way to begin with.

GM doing it, probably not too likely. But I suppose it's possible for GM to team up with Lingenfelter, and have them build-up the engine. Just in case the Viper and Ford GT still have a slight edge...
