Well, Now we have seen the Order Guide. The next thing I am interested in will be all of the prices... If I remember correctly wern't the Grey wheels about a $395 option. I wonder what the Black wheels will be priced at.

Sounds good, if you will be able to order the LS7 in the Base wouldn't a stronger suspension and larger brakes come with it? Would the current base suspension is handle a 427? I'm thinking it would. I think todays base suspension is every bit as good or better as the 60's and 70's suspensions with 427s.

Those yesteryear 427s were cast iron big blocks (intakes,heads & block) and wieghed a bunch more than the all almunium (composite intake) LS7 small block 427 CID engines of today. I imagine the suspension in those old cars with the big blocks was beefed up over the small block cars. Today's LS7 prbably weighs in at about the same or less than the LS3, so yea, I imagine the base suspension could handle the larger hp engine.

you’re on a roll for brining up threads that super old. This June is 6 years old and the other one was 8 years old. I think everybody in these threads have figured out what options they did or did not come with by now.
