Performance (i.e. adequate performance under the extreme conditions that cars are subjected to in pre-production testing) is the prime driver for these types of decisions, with reliability #2. Cost in the far distance alongside packaging/maintenance/assembly line issues/supplier issues/etc. If cost was the driver, but otherwise EWP was superior, then you'd see EWP from the factory on more-expensive cars. See any on ZR-1s? Heck, see any on LT1s? They were plenty expensive in their day. And the delta cost for GM to use EWP on every SBC (say, perhaps, that they decided to use them on Gen 3 SBC) would be close to nil. If EWP were produced in the numbers to support OEM production they'd be similarly priced to mechanical pumps. |
