Just because GTM is a grand for the rods doesnt mean everyone is. My buddy had Carrillo make a forged set of a-beam rods for a 3.8 v6 (meaning 6 rods...) turbo firebird and paid $750 total. His pistons were $680 or so from Ross Racing with thermal coating on the tops.

You can pay as much as you want, but its does not mean you cant get quality for less money. You could easily spend $2000 on rods if you wanted to, or you can spend $750 and get a good set too. Quoting common vendor websites or pretending that only GTM's on the shelf options are available is a bit naive, but to each his own.
