Same thing to me as buying performance.
Anybody can do that. The idea is to "build" performance. Create from what was less and make it more.

From an economic perspective the LS or some crate motor makes more sense. Corvettes have never been about making much sense....its about having fun and trying to accomplish something. The higher challenge the more fun it becomes...

Buying power is easy....Building it is a challenge. Getting to drive it is the goal knowing that YOU did it yourself, not some white coat wearing GM engineer that stamped out thousands of copies for sale just like that one you bought....mines one of a kind...I built it.

Still quite abit of work to get an LS into a C4 man. I'm not doing it with my C4 (I hate wiring oh yes yes I do, and the C4 harness means lots and lots of wiring), but I'm definitely doing it with my Camaro.
