Default Camaros with Motor driven throttle blade???

do camaros come with a Motor driven throttle blade like the Corvettes?
and if yes from what year they where build with that throttle body?
I have a Corvette throttle body for sale and a guy with a '02 Camaro wants to buy it, I told him it won't fit his car but he claims it would fit.....

If you told him it won't fit and he still wants to buy it, sell it to him and then refuse to take it back. You warned him.

he said that he has a european model because he's got a metric speedometer and from '99 european camaros where delivered with a drive by wire throttle body.
I told him that GM officially did never export the Camaro to europe, all the camaros over here have either been imported by indepentent dealers or private persons, so he could also have a canadian model, since as far as I know canadian models also have metric speedometers.....

If I do sell him the Corvette TB I know I'll be running into trouble with this guy, or maybe some previous owner of his car had it converted to a corvette drive by wire TB and pedal assembly

Are you sure about that? They have GM euro tail lights, and GM euro bumpers for the stupidly wide plate in the back.

sorry guys, my fault!!
after several emails with this guy trying to explain to him that if his motor is still stock and nobody converted it to a electric actuated throttle blade, the Corvette TB won't fit, I started wondering if I'm stupid or is this guy a moron, but now it turned out that he has a V6 engine
sorry guys, my fault I should have asked him what engine he has, but I totally forgot that there are people out there with V6 engines...
