    'Vette Owner's Engine Option

     



    Here's a link to an article in the KC Star this morning about a local guy that went to the GM factory to work side by side with a GM engineer assembling the engine for his new Corvette. It would be a really neat experience, but it also carries a $5,800 option price

    There was a tv program on that very subject and how a person can "build" there own motor. It was very impressive to see how sophisticated these new vettes are and how they come together. The machinery to build and assemble them is as impressive as the cars themselves..........quite an investment on GM's part.
