U know this statement is so true.
How much does it take to turn LT-1 to push 300RWHP?
Full exhaust, tune, and camshaft(which is 1000times easier to install then our car). thats like $1500 mods for them?
How about LS1? 400RWHP+ is really like full exhaust, cam, heads and tune away?
How much it takes for us to get to 300hp?
Cams(and 1000times harder to install then lT-1 or LS1), P&P heads with srtonger valve springs, full exhaust, and tune.
Sooo thats like $600 for cams, $1500+ for P&P heads, another $500 for valve components, $400+ for dyno tune to get close to 275+RWHP.
Another $700 or so for full exhaust. And may be u'll go over 300hp by horse or two? which most can't afford, so we go dick wround with pullys n' intake elbow and TB and gets excited over 4~6 hp gain.
Streetstang is right. I think we all got shafted by ford...
DOHC engined mach 1 should have came out as GT back in 99...
