Just a glimpse of hyper-inflation.

This was posted on an earlier thread. Some members here actually called the dealership and found out these cars are Yenkos. They’ll fetch the price as well as over1000hp.

I thought Yenko's were customer order cars only, not for sale to the general public. You pretty much had to be called and asked if you wanted one? I thought that was the point of the ultra limited production run on them, even dealers weren't supposed to be allowed to order them, had to have a customer behind the order with a "no-take-backs" clause?

Edit: Just googled COPO vs Yenko, I understand now. COPO is the one not up for grabs to the public. Yenko is just over-priced shop upgrade not even done at the factory. No disrespect to SVE or their team, it's just their special sauce isn't really that special today. Would rather have GPI build my car, and then buy a second home with the remainder of that cash, go to Vegas and drop $40k on black, then round it off with a 2 week stay in Hawaii and not lift a finger or put socks on the entire time. And still have enough left over for a YOLO day trade on AMC/GME.

lol, “No disrespect to SVE”
Lots of puffed up dialogue you got going on there. Time to show us all how it’s done.

Geez, share an opinion and get called out to put up or shut up? I need to start adding trigger warnings to my posts, LOL.

You'll have to elaborate on what "puffed up dialogue" is, you sound as if my opinion has offended you somehow.

All I've said there, was it's a ridiculous price tag on those cars. My comment about "no disrespect to SVE" is just that. Someone owns SVE, they risked their money starting shop, they earned a contract to reproduce the Yenko name, they clearly do good work as they are still in business. SO, no disrespect to any of that or the hard working mechanics doing the work to pull a paycheck for their families. However, what has SVE done that no other shop has or couldn't do? Other than having a stack of Yenko stickers they can slap on whatever they want, including Corvette's, trucks, SUV's... so if they say it's Yenko-fied, it's a Yenko now. Then it heads to a dealer lot where they sprinkle some low-jack magic, sub-par ceramic protection coating, and holier-than-thou elite dealer voodoo and presto, there's another $40k-$80k market adjustment (or more, since we don't know what stages those cars are) added to the sticker. Now you have a motor swapped FI Camaro SS 1LE. $45k car, $40k-$60k worth of work.

You don't have to agree with me, it's my opinion.

In regards to my exaggeration on what I would do with $200,000 worth of car money, I'm pretty sure I could put that money where my mouth is if I had $200k to blow. Unfortunately that's just going to have to remain my untested opinion.

As far as "showing you how it's done," when I'm done with my build, I'll make a thread and post pictures and share my experiences, as so many others have. I'm probably sitting right around $12-$14k in my build budget, I'd have to go back and do maths on the sheet. Right now I'm crossing my fingers the car doesn't put down more than 750whp, otherwise it'll just end up being more of a chore to handle and less fun for the go-pedal. Gonna have blue-foot if I can put it all the way down most of the time. But I will be sure to PM you my thread when it's done. Not sure if it'll satisfy your requirement, but I'll welcome ~your~ thoughts and opinions. I am hoping to see the Dyno by August. Nothing like dyno tuning a car in peak desert heat, lol. (Trigger warning! Thoughts and opinions may be expressed in future threads, some statements may not have been fact checked, images may include but not be limited to cats laying on superchargers, reader discretion is advised!)
