Grand Sport with GM stage 1 and Stage 2 engine options
Has anyone looked in to pricing on (stage 1 "835hp) and (stage 2 "1000hp") offered now through your Chevy dealership on a Grand Sport order? I just read this on Corvette Mikes website.
Very inveresting,

That doesn't sound right. I don't think GM itself would offer such packages..
Could you please provide a link?

I'm trying to post a link. I'm on their mailing list to get current offerings but will continue to try. It was talking about the ZR1 crate engine along with a 1000hp Hemi option from Dodge called the Hellephant being available. Hopefully someone else will figure out how to post a link..

A few weeks back, we told you that GM was going to offer the 2019 ZR1 engine for sale in a crate form. Well SEMA is this week and GM did indeed show off the crate LT5 installed in a 1973 Chevrolet Chevelle Laguna. The price of the LT5 has also been announced, $17,915.00. Not bad for a drop-in and play 755hp!
Not to be outdone, Dodge has announced a crate engine with 1,000-hp. They have named this beast the Hellephant, a 426-cubic-inch (7.0L), 3.0-liter twin-screw supercharged, V8. The name comes from the muscle car days 426 engine Dodge called the Elephant, because of its size and weight, and the current Hellcat engine; hence the Hellephant moniker.
And then Specialty Vehicle Engineering showed off their LT1 based Stage I (835-hp) and Stage II (1,000-hp) offerings. As we brought you a few months ago, both the Stage I and Stage II can be ordered directly from your Chevrolet dealership as options on a new Grand Sport.
Did you ever think that you could walk into and American car dealer and drive out with a 1,000hp under the hood? With American car manufactures turning to hybrid power, this may just be the start of another HP war.

Those are SVE built offerings that are being produced in very limited quantities from what i saw. You have to order the car complete for it to be warrantied through GM/SVE.
