The Camaro ended up double booked, and the Gene Winfield top 6 took priority.
Here is a video of us driving around after the show:

What is.. [QUOTE=V12LS;19282791]We recently fired up our first prototype V12 LS1, and I thought forum members might be interested in some of the challenges we met along the way and how they were overcome. We certainly have learnt a lot by reading this forum over the years, so would like to contribute.
Firing order and balanceThere is much debate online over if a 90 degree V12 is “balanced”. Theoretically any angle V12 will balance just fine as it is really just two straight 6s. What you do get with a 90 degree V is an odd-fire engine, where the power is unevenly distributed over the engine rotation.
For firing order we went with the left bank in the usual straight 6 order, (1, 5, 3, 6, 2, 4) and the right bank in a reversed straight 6 order and obviously had to make a camshaft to suit.
