Awarded "Best Engine" at car show...
Took the Z to a local charity car show, and it got a lot of attention and lots of questions from folks. And, it won the "best engine" prize.
I overheard one of the judges tell another judge (possibly his wife), that the LT5 must have been a transplant from another car, as he scribbled on his score sheet.  Ah, well... I would have thought the new paint and immaculate (new) interior would have counted for something, but I guess not.  LOL.

Congratulations! Always amazes me the number of "car people" that are unaware of the LT5.
