Chevrolet is bringing back its exclusive ‘Engine Build Experience’ for Corvette Z06 customers, who will get the opportunity to assemble the cars 650-hp supercharged LT4 engine by themselves.
The program which starts in March 2015, will take place at the company's new Performance Build Center inside the Bowling Green Assembly Plant.
However, customers will have to pay $5,000 for the experience, which includes the opportunity to spend a full day with a Performance Build Center engine assembly technician who will assist the participants.
It will also include a personalized engine plaque identifying the owner/builder along with date of the engine build and professional photography of the experience.
After the installation is completed, the engine of the Corvette Z06 will be sent out to the assembly area of the plant where it will be installed with the scheduled assembly of the customer's Z06.
Corvette product manager Harlan Charles said: "Chevrolet recognizes the passion customers have for Corvette and the Engine Build Experience offers them a truly unique opportunity for hands-on involvement in the creation of the heart of their new car.
"It's a chance to bond with their new car."
Charles added: "It's important for customers to understand their engine won't be installed the day after they built it.
"It will flow into the scheduling process for vehicle assembly, which depends on a number of logistical variables."
