If he was welcomed onsite he was also warned to keep his yap shut. So... Either it's BS or your buddy may be leaving himself open to legal issues with GM.

Here's the thing, if he was allowed to get close to it, GM would likely have issued a gag order. They take that about as seriously as the no pictures policy. They'd be able to track down who said what pretty quickly as there would only be a limited number of people who could have seen what you say your friend saw.

So, either your friend knew this and was willing to risk it, or he never saw anything if he exists at all.

-unless he heard the engine whinning theres no way to tell if it was s/c. is there any other way to mount a s/c outher than top mount lol.
- cooling fins on the S/C? was the hood open, or is ur bud talking about body vents?

And perhaps a certain level of anonymity and ambiguity is appropriate :-). I'm ok with the skepticism - but we all know one thing... the z28 is definitely in the works and it's gonna be awesome!

Cooling fins... Hmm... Neither ZR1 nor CTS-V have these, perse; well, CTS-V has a few right on top... Seeing as how LSA would need, at least a different upper plenum, since it doesn't fit under Camaro's cowl, maybe this is what we're seeing.

All this teasing...

I saw it too........and Elvis was driving it as he was eating a peanut butter and bannana sandwich!

Ok, enough with the wise-cracks please. Keep it on topic to the info the OP is providing. And if you don't believe it, then simply move on.
