Ford warranties the 660 hp package because you bought a 50k car from them and added a 8-10k package, so they can afford to, you are basically spending close to 60k. No way will they sell you that car for GT500 base price. What would they sell as an option?

I am not saying GM is helpless at all. I am saying that they need to keep these numbers in their head and plan accordingly.
I seriously hope GM doesn't just take an unchanged LSA from the Caddy and put it in the Z/28. Beef up the internals at least.
Ford warranties the 660hp package because they feel safe that at those power levels with their tune the engine will still last.
