Kid's a tool. He didn't even remove the intake ducting before "pulling the motor". It would be a sin to pull that motor.

i think if someone goes and tries to pull something off like that they should be a Z06 an the LS7 should not be disrespected liek that.

Guys it is a joke. He works for GM and is just stirring the pot with the rotary guys. He is NOT pulling the motor. He is lucky enough to have a LS7 Z06 in his driveway though.

BASTARD

Those cars are just sweet! Saw one in person at this year's Hot Rod Power Tour. Very cool! I didnt know they made them in maroon though?? To me, thats color does not belong on a sports car such as this. The car itself is amazing!

He's doing a great job of messing with those RX7 guys. He probably should've at least turned off the underhood light so it would look like he disconnected the battery first...

I thought the engines' were removed by dropping them not lifting them which is correct?

It is a joke. He is one of the "test mules" for GM and he is joking. He stuck the hoist into the picture to be funny.

I saw a blue Z06 running around my town last week....regular plates and everything. It does not look good in blue. I love the LS7 motor, but they styling does not look so hot to me, too angular. I think it would look a lot better in Black.
