I've thought that there were some in America and in Austrailia

The Cow-spot ones were in Australia. Supposedly, the White one was taken inside of Oshawa...

I'm curious as to whether the LSX block will make an appearance in the car. I know it's already available, but I wonder...

I was reading it has double the head bolts, accepts a multitude of LS engine parts, withstands up to 2500 horsepower, and can be bored to a size of 511 cubic inches with the appropriate long-stroke config. For under $3,000, that's definitely worth the money, considering the level of durability and expandability it has.

Of course, I'm just rambling at this point, but still, I agree on the sound bytes. I'd love to hear the sound of the roaring V8 echoing about. I'm curious as to what exhaust configuration they're going to choose for the production model, since the concept has what sounds like almost none. :-D

As I understand it the LSX block is basically available from GMPP as a block for building an engine off of, not something you could just order fully assembled in a production car.

As far as I know, there aren't any laws preventing someone from peering over a fence for photography of a car....of people for certain "reasons", yes illegal. But of cars? Not that I know of.

I doubt any criminal laws but I am sure a decent lawyer would find a civil cause of action esspecially if you are leaning a ladder against the fence. I say use the bucket truck from public land or a private property you have proper rights to use.

AND HURRY UP WITH THOSE PICS!!!
