yah but most 01 vette owners are too afraid of their warranty to touch the motor
and, well the stang, still cost 4x-5x less than the vette
Once you start adding power adders and juice to your car, you gotta be prepared to pay the expenses that come along with it (ie cracked block, burnt pistons/valves). I'd be hatin life to buy an 01 vetta, say $950/month in payments, add some juice to it, have it screw up, and waste a $10K motor

the warranty certainly is void when you play with the motor.
