All price points aside, how many GS replicas have you seen at the local weekend "Cars & Coffee" gatherings lately? Or even the larger shows?

Exactly. One to none.

So forget the price point. Someone out there will pay good money and dare to be different. And with more anti-smog and big government legislation undoubtedly on the way (the green movement), you can bet that e-rods like this ARE the future. Look no further than Australia to see how they are adapting these high-powered GM engines to Cobras and everything else...because they HAVE to, not because they choose to. Australia is light years ahead of our level of thinking on this subject because of necessity. We will all be asking them for advice on this forum in 4-5 years.

The GS will most likely do just fine, even with low production numbers. It's more a marketing exercise by GM (Gee, wasn't the Ford GT the same goal for Ford?!? Ford did not make a dime on the Ford GT, but they won the hearts of many over). Plus Superformance gains additional exposure to cross-sell the rest of their fine line of offerings. A win-win. A no-brainer.
