Default Engine Build Experience - when will it restart?

GM is moving the Corvette engine build experience to Bowling Green.

Has anyone heard any updated information on when the program will be available again?

Not for me, paid enough they can built it. To think you have to pay extra, i don't think so.

I had to look this one up. I have to say: VERY COOL. I'd love to do this. But Larry's right -- too expensive. Damn opportunists.


Cheers.

That's some sound logic

Let me give it a spin:
Why would I ever want to pay to play golf? I can watch it on TV for free. Avoids all that damn walking and club swinging.



For me, the price seems reasonable for what you are getting, no different than a 5-day racing class at a track or a 5-day long photography class from a professional.

I find the though of building an engine fascinating. Not something I could do by myself in the near future: I don't have the time to self-teach it, nor any garage to do it in, nor any tools to do it with. So you are going to rent me an expert builder as a guide and a state-of-the-art shop for a week to experience this? Awesome.

Compared to the
MRC option cost, it’s not worth it in my opinion.
