Well its the LS-ZL1 version. There was a LT1 ZL1 car that had a 500ci+ big block with dual throttle body intake.

I think having SS parts on your non-SS is fine... just as long as you don't take a V6, RS, or Z28 and masquerade it as a SS... If it's one thing I hate it is people throwing badges on their car cause they bought a new hood. I'd love to have a SS hood for my car but that doesnt make it a true SS and it doesn't deserve the corresponding badging. If you really want a SS...buy one

I'd have to agree. I really don't care if someone puts SS parts on their car but lets not forget that the Z28 has great heritage too. Work with it and you can have a great looking car that doesn't look like all of us SS's out there.

Ultra Z or a Cowl hood add a lip on the rear spoiler to resemble the 2nd gens (I can't rember who made those) with retro badging and a billet grill. If I had a Z this is the way I'd go.

Grip, how much you asking for the car... I have a buddy looking to buy one in a few months.

No thats my car with the 572 Donovan block built by Jon Moss.

Sorry I should have been more clear. That is the ZL1 concept car. There was an LT1 style as well. I kind of went for that look.

My car is for sale but I'm not sure if someone from the States would buy it since its worth more in Canada but I am entertaining offers for trades from the States such as newer F150s, Rams, Yukons, Denalis, Lexus GS400, LS 400, etc etc.

The LS1 spoiler is a little too much spoiler, IMO. I like the LT1 SS spoiler for the fact that it's different, but subtle.

LT1 ss spoiler looks so much like a base z28 spoiler. It just has a slight/lame curve on the top. I personally don't like it, LS1 or the mecham(I think its the mecham, its the ls1 ss spoiler without the two posts) are the only spoilers that look good on these cars. Just my opinion.

um, the only difference between themecham and the LT1 SS is the 3rd brake light hump... not a big deal really. I think the hump makes it look better anyways.. "chunkier" if you will

No, the LT1 SS spoiler is a base z28 spoiler with alittle curve on top, if you look at the pictures you can see the seam where the curve is put on. The bottom of the spoiler is flat all the way across the bottom. The LS1 SS spoiler and mecham have relatively concentric curves.

I don't think that's his car.

I like both spoilers actually. The LT1 spoiler does look like the lip was somehow seamed on. It doesn't look bad just looks like that's how it's appearance was altered. Don't ya have to mod the wiring to make an LS1 spoiler brake light work correctly on an LT1 car? The LT1 spoiler has a more subtle look, and it's dirt cheap and it'll fit unlike some of these stinking knock ups, I mean knock offs.
