At what point does a hot rod become just too expensive for the average Joe? I guess I don't see exclusivity as a positive when it comes to a fun car.

The only reason that the so-called dino fuel engines would no longer exist in our lifetimes is that someone regulated them out.

Just because your choices aren't being limited does not mean most of our's aren't.
Wait, I thought ZL1s were limited in production. In other words, I thought there were only so many allocations available annually for the car.
