  • I apologise for being negative… Where is the bargain? What is a comparable price that makes this a bargain?

    • +2

      Cheaper than ebay & amazon alternatives.

    • +11

      It's cool though. Thanks bought one for myself lol

      • Agreed, but that doesn’t make it a bargain

      • PSA. Started building it tonight. Turns out I'm missing a part and have a double of another part.

        It's the frame that holds the camshaft. Won't scew on properly!

        Guess it's back to kmart we go. Dont think I can be bothered starting again. Boo!

      Hot Wheels are normally $2.

    • +5

      An LS1 is about $7000-8000 new so this is a great deal

      • Are they really? I thought since they seem to be a popular swap option that they must be like 500 bucks.

        • +1

          You can get a lot cheaper used. Plenty of bogans binning their commodores

  • +2

    Paid a lot more a few years back for the 4 cyclinder version

    • But you'll save on Eneloops!

    • This might be an antique 20-30 years into the future, you'll never know!

    • but you'll save on petrol and cheaper maintenance

    Yep, this will come in handy when our automotive industry is resurrected.

      In Germany any business taking over 50 million Euros must have 50% worker representation on the board.

      And that is why they have a manufacturing sector.

      According to neoliberal economic theory as practiced by the Liberal and Labour Parties in their rule of this country Germany should be a failed socialist state. Instead it is booming while our own economy stagnates as wealth is removed from most of the country.

        But coal?

      • And China has none of that and will swallow the West whole. And Germany needs those million refugees to sustain itself. Germany's automotive industry is subsidised. Did you miss that part?

        • +1

          The average worker in China is treated like rubbish. By the time they might be close in overtaking the west there won’t be anyone left to do all the dirty work.

          Speaking of subsidies, since our government isn’t paying to prop up local manufacturing there should be a surplus now, and car prices should be cheaper; at least, that what suckers who weren’t happy with having a local manufacturing industry would have you believe. Oh look nothing has changed except now we don’t even make anything.

          • @smartazz104: UBI ftw!

          • @smartazz104: not sure where did you get the idea chines worker treated like rubish? CNN? got be really careful when you comment on something you are not really know

        • +2

          All countries that build cars subsidise that industry.

          • @Randolph Duke: Precisely. So having worker representation on the board with their 35 hour working weeks wasn't the bit that saved their industry.

    Edit. Nevermind
