RobNThaQC -- yup re sleepers -- me too

for the sharp-eyed, the one giveaway on mine is the boost gauge on the driver's pillar -- no changes to the body except for the relatively unobtrusive http://www.motorcitymold.com/stock.html extractor hood (lets the air from just behind the radiator out from under the hood; said to be good for .2 in the quarter, engine runs c. 20 degrees cooler even/especially in hard use, pretty much eliminates the front-end lift that in a stock-bodied C5 can become a bit distracting above 175)

had never heard of the Lotus Carlton -- very cool

re LPE and the new LSA CTS-V -- http://www.lingenfelter.com/engine-packages/cadillac/cadillac-cts-v-lsa-2009/378-cid-lsa-supercharger-upgrade-2009 (their parallel for the LS9 ZR-1 -- http://www.lingenfelter.com/engine-packages/corvette/c6-zr1-ls9-2009/378-cid-ls9-supercharger-upgrade-2009 )

as for the LS3 G8 GXP -- at least the N/A and supercharged options here should be available -- http://www.lingenfelter.com/engine-packages/corvette/c6-ls3-2008-2009

and really, subject only to whether or not and if yes to what level a twin-turbo setup can be installed in any given GM vehicle that'll take a small-block, LPE can stuff whatever anyone could want in there -- gotta be just a matter of time until some smartazz has them stuff a 2000-hp tall-deck LSX ( http://www.gmhightechperformance.com/tech/0702gm_lsx_engine_block/index.html ) twin turbo into a ZR-1, lol
