I was talking about cloning a L88 or ZL1, not a GS. I think the L88's/ZL1 had a different base suspension, but for the most part, still was a standard vette, unlike the GS vettes which were completely different cars other than the running gear and outside general body shape.

If the Superformance GS roller is $90K, then add another $20-30K for the engine tranny if you want to replicate it. For $110K you could have a really nice vette, or maybe 2 really nice vettes. I would never spend $110K for a GS replica, but again, most people wouldn't spend what I/we spend on our cobra's either. I kind of think it's going to be a tough sell. Will they sell some, yes, but I don't think they're going to take off even close to the cobra market.
