Default 2000 ZL1 concept suspension?

I was looking at the black 572 ci ZL1 camaro again today and am really wondering what was done to the suspension. Does anybody know or have an article that goes into specifics?

Ok, but I just want to know whether this car has a stock type 3 link or if it has been changed to something completely different. And I guess there's probably only maybe 3 people I could talk to who know how it rides.

Rear:

Ive seen this video everywhere and I dont think its a ZL1... that thing sounds like an automatic in the video, the Zl1 is a 5spd manual..

Also the car doesnt have an 8.4 liter(as it mentions in the article). it has a mid 9.3 liter V8

4.5" stroke, 4.5" bore. 8 cylinders

The ZL1 is owned By Jon Moss. Anyway the suspension consists of this.

Rigid axle located by 2 trailing links,1 torque arm, and a panhard rod; coil springs; anti roll bar.

Also there were 2 ZL1 concepts, the 2000 and an ealier mid 90s one or so. which had a 572 also , but looked like an SS LT1 and was slower than the 2000 concept

Moss's Camaro is titled as a 1993 Camaro that had a face lift from a 1998 camaro as well as the taillights. It wasnt a 2000 model ZL1.
