I drove a custom 1LTE Camaro with a LT5 (GM in-house show car) and a quite free flowing exhaust and it was great sounding. I have some pics of this car somewhere. Was the only non-corvette car to ever leave the factory with an LT5. Customer bought it @ Barrett Jackson a couple years ago when GM cleared out some of their collection.

I would love to have one of these engines laying around on a test stand to look at and disturb the neighbors on occasion.
That's pretty cool. There was a 4th gen Camaro running around with an LT5 for a while here; obviously not factory; however I heard the kid's dad was a GM exec.

Lingenfelter also recently found a 1LE 1992 Camaro... but I can only imagine how fast that would be with the LT5! I just love the LT5. Lingenfelter's chief engineer came from Lotus, and knows the engine intimately
