Steve, Good point, I just talk to a QA manager for a large company this morning who stated that just being compliant is good in most situations for a small shop. Having a good quality manual here is all that is required from his company, as long as what I make is not on their final product and it's not.

It seems that all the responses are about the same here; it's bullshit but a evil necessity.

ISO blah, blah, blah, Yaaawn.

In '88 I bought an LX 5.0 notchback for $11,700.00 A GT is around 25 grand today. Ford is in danger of losing the "bang for the buck" title. I've read where folks from SVT were quoted as saying they were no longer going to be constrained by a sub 35k price. Which leaves me wondering if they are going high horse power, high cost, high profile Shelby. The delay might be to give themselves time to come up with some filler cars. Something like a Mach 1 or Boss to fit in between the SVT and the standard GT price and performance wise. Speaking of long waits, a standard GT is around a five month wait right now.

I've been reading about the C6. 75 grand is pretty steep. There's a whole lot of other sports cars in that price range. I don't know if the vinyl jacket, gold chain crowd is ready to drop that kind of ching on a Vette.

That would only be true if they scrapped the scrap, they just sold it to Harbor Freight instead so it doesn't fit into the equation.

A higher quality product should sell for more money, the workers with more skills who produce the higher quality product should make more money.

Um, no. I'm something of a "centrist extremist".

It's not commie or even socialist to think that there should be some correlation between the work done and the pay received. There is certainly a difference between relatively unskilled labor, assembly perhaps, and engineering. A person has to expend relatively little time/effort/expense to become qualified for the assembly job, while the engineer has a much more substantial time/effort/expense investment. There is also a smaller pool of qualified engineers vs. qualified assemblers so market forces dictate higher pay for positions where workers are in shorter supply.

There is little difference between engineering and corporate management. Engineering requires a good deal of education and skill as does good corporate management. There are fairly equal pools of both therefore there should not reasonably be a 1,000x difference in pay.
