This isn't for production, it's to show enthusiasts what can be done. These are dream cars for people who actually like cars and don't just seem them as an appliance. I also don't think there was any engineering involved in putting an an LSX block, that has the same exterior dimensions as an LS3, into the engine bay. I think it would have looked worse for GM if they hadn't built any vehicles this year at all. Besides, if you want green, take a look at some of their other SEMA builds, like the Ecojet from '06 and the '34 Coupe E85 from last year.
