It’s easier to put an LT5 or a next-gen twin turbo DOHC small-block in a Z 1LE with P Zero Trofeo R tires and More aero. Nobody wants a stripped out track car these days. Anyone who does can build a base SS or Stingray into a monster for Z06 money.
But look at the new GT500 its a stripped out track car, and know what they will sell every last one and most at 5-20K over MSRP.
