Yes, I'm pretty sure it is called the L76. But, the GXP, whether M6 or A6, comes with the LS3. The L99 comes in the A6 Camaro SSs with all the AFM/DOD crap.

The GT is a L76 and the GXP whether its an A6 or M6 is a LS3.

The L99 is a Camaro engine for the A6.

Which is the point. It will look a lot like the regular plates in the county I live in but not registered in.

I figured, register in my home county where there isn't a wheel tax and use that money for custom plates and still come out ahead. Plus I think it's going to look great.
