Default GM 4th gen camaro w/ ls7
do yall have any info on the car? there is a LS1 body style camaro in satin black(looks awesome) on the power tour that is part of GMs fleet. says test car on the side. it however has an LS7 engine in it, and has the dry sump mounted where the battery belongs. i got pics, but not uploaded right now. one thing i did notice is that the throttle body isn't flipped like some have said it needs to be for proper air distribution. they also have a GTO with an LS7 in it

I keep saying it does not need to be flipped.

Our LS7 Camaro is owned by Katech. The car he is talking about is not ours.

the flat black one is GM Performance Division. They have one in a 98 Camaro and 05 GTO. I saw it yesterday on the tour.

the sump on this car was cut down and rewelded to fit in the location because it was to tall. I talked with one of the guys that helped build the car and got some good info from him.

sorry to spin off topic, but...
The local F-body crews are very nice. They are very accepting of my personal car (VR4) and no doubt show the respect for the LS1 powered 240sx.
