I apologize if this has already been posted....
According to this article Corvette Z06 & ZR1 buyers will soon be able build the engine for their new cars themselves! Seriously. How cool is that? $6k for anyone spending $70-100k for a new car is nothing. I imagine a lot of buyers will pay that for the right to brag to their buddies that they built the engine in their new Vette themselves. And they will even have a personalized nameplate to prove it!
I think this is a great idea. Check it out.
