Has anyone else noticed that used aftermarket parts availabilty has gone up quite a bit? And has anyone noticed that parts sales seem to be way off?

I see longtube headers for sale and there are zero replies. OF course, in many cases, owners are asking 80-90% of retail. They must be smoking crack.

Camshafts and heads are in abundant supply ... but again, way over priced for used parts.

It appears that the mod market might be drying up a tad for this platform. Stands to reason ... it's been out of production for 2 1/2 years. I just find it interesting that parts are becoming more abundant, both retail and used, yet the costs are not coming down.

OK .. a year and a half ... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Chuck has it correct ... supply and demand.

Face it guys ... the supply is gone. The platform is dead, nothing to remotely replace it as far as parts compatibility goes.

Any aftermarket manufacturer would be nuts in this economy to spend precious R&D dollars on a platform that lasted for 4 years (LS1 F-Body).

Can we all agree that R&D on LT1 engines has all but ceased? Why would the LS1 be any different? And don't say Corvette, because those guys are in another stratosphere ...

I think it's insane the cost of aftermarket parts for an LS1 car (demand?). I think it's insane to pay near retail for used parts (supply?).

And all these used F-Body parts cropping up ... why are the owners selling? Platform change?
