New Camaro sure is impractical.

In the software world, we engineers talk in terms of LOC. Lines of code. We provide estimates for effort in LOC. Others turn that into customer costs, but we do talk that way: "you want to add visible status and user commanding for that new NTP switch? It'll be about 750 LOC".



I just have no idea how much money 750 LOC actually is.

You need to know that effort in order to make good decisions. Otherwise you could be building a $90,000 sub-compact.
