Corvette owners could soon be revving up an engine they built with their own hands.
General Motors Co. in Detroit, US, recently announced in that buyers who order a 2011 Corvette Z06 or ZR1 can help assemble their cars' high-performance LS7 and LS9 engines.
The engines will be built at GM's Performance Build Centre in Michigan, US, where GM assembles up to 15,000 high-performance engines by hand each year.
GM spokesman Tom Read said that it will take buyers about six hours to assemble, adjust and clean their engines with the parts provided and a skilled technician will supervise.
"The 2011 Corvettes are currently in production and will go on sale soon, the company expects to have customers building their own engines as soon as next month."
The engine-building programme joins a list of special options available exclusively to Corvette owners.
