    $28,000 bucks (roughly)for a crate motor? I don't care if it was forged in the fires of hell, there are better options out there.

    hmmmm ..... ........ compare across multiple currencies.

    When one of them is going down against the "basket" of currencies then that is the "weak" one.

    Wish it wasn't ... but there again ... time to come over an buy up some of your property for half price

    I wish I owned property... It sucks being young and nearly broke. On a postive note, my savings sounds much more impressive in pesos.

    I am well aware of the dollar's weakness, I just prefer to deny it sarcasticly. In the future, I will remember smilies to show my lack of seriousness. I like to look at things from an optimistic angle. So I am going to say that the dollar isn't weak, other currencies are just comparatively strong-sounds better, doesn't it?

    Utterly ridiculous. Still cheaper than a similar BMW crate engine, but the LS7 is still the best option. You could have a normally-aspirated 700hp LS7 for far cheaper than this one if you wanted that much power. I'll bet any money that it would be lighter and more compact, too.
