The LSA has a conventional pan and pick up on it does it not? Supposedly the ZL1 corners and accelerates very hard and does not have a dry sump set up. Will it be much of an issue from an engineering standpoint to locate a dry sump oiling system on a Camaro? If you could elaborate a bit....  |
If what I'm reading here in the last few posts about a Camaro Z28 ripping up a Z06...it better have a dry sump system on it as it will meet or exceed the Gs that Z06 is pulling. I highly doubt the ZL1 will come anywhere near the lateral Gs that will require a dry sump.

True, but if we're aiming for the ulimate track Camaro that will run with a Z06, we're going to want that dry sump.
