I dont think it is fake. there is another video by that same user says its a ls7 427.
If it was the reason would be different gears like 4.10's with stock 3.42 programing. That will make the speedometer off.

Everything looks right, but he does have some unbelievable traction for that rate of acceleration, but it looks like a standard 3.42 + T-56 configuration by what the display tells us.

0-120 in 11 seconds. Sounds right for a ls7 the z06 will run 11's at 120+ stock. So the same motor in a camaro with mods. Its very possible.
