Yup saw this on a SVT board yesterday. I couldnt beleive it. Those bastards would have to pay me $5800 to do the work that their highly skilled tech would do. lol

Wow I guess you could brag to everybody that you built it. Do they allow head and cam swaps?

if you think about it,

thats prolly just for lawyers and insurance & legal junk.

the labor/time/effort is probably a wash

did you see the word "concierge" in there? that's a $5800 word for "secretary"

i would do it, if i was Bucks Up. be cool as crap.

"And because the LS7 and LS9 engines built at the PBC are all personally signed by the individual who assembled them, the owner of the car will proudly be able to show off the special engine nameplate bearing his or her name. Now that’s what we call personalization."

This is the only thing cooler then having a SVT certificate of authenticity !!!!

Yes but its not signed by the owner/builder of the motor in the same fashion as this!

Was talking about this at work today. If you install a part wrong, does Chevy still cover it? Or... Do they say "Too bad. Owner messed it up"?

Sweet! I'm sure people who can afford "NEW" Z06 and ZR1's, thats a drop in the bucket worth their dime! I'm sure they will have many takers on that.
If I had that kind of $$$$, I'd do it too.

I would say they would cover it. The article says its covered by the same 100k warranty or whatever so hopefully it would be as if one of the normal builders did it. Good question though and ya better read the fine print!
