SSR with LS7 engine There is someone local claiming he had his '06 SSR built with the 505hp LS7 engine and was a $5K add on (claims it was purchased in Chicago). Its got the new ZO6 emblems but looking at the engine bay it looks just like any other SSR.... just the normal intake/throttle. Does anyone know if you can build it because you cant do it online. Hopefully the dealer didnt slap on the decals and salesman fill this guy a line so he would buy it.

He's an older gentleman so I left it at that. My original intentions were to point it out so he can confront the dealer but if he's all happy thinking he got the LS7 and spent $5K for decals than so be it

The salesman was in the middle of saying "these SSRs got the all new LS..." and that asshat got all giddy and bought one before the dealer said "2 this year from the BASE model Corvette and the GTO."
Next time just say line it up. If its really got an LS7 it should run the poo outta your wee lil ole Vette lol.
Offtopic but LETHL, I would love to have a SW Z
I dont care if its an 01 with 385 instead of 405. Non popups, diff hood (either a cowl or the L88 C3 style), tint, black tail panel, black wheels and export lights = done for apperance.

I tried to take a quick glance but didnt see any casting numbers (thats what I was looking for). If he brings it out again I'll see if I can catch them.
