Engine Plant day

I was at the St. Cathrines Engine Plant today where the LS1, LS2 and the LS6 and other associated Caddy engines are made.
I was talking to one engineer about the new LS2 and about the throttle body in particular. The LS2 engine's throttle body is 90mm and the LS6 is only (correct me if I'm wrong) 72mm or something close to that.
He said that the new LS2 throttle body will fit our LS6 without any problems.
Just thought you would like to know.
Now for the news on the 06 ZO6...
No news, this guy was tighter that an old nuns, well you get the picture.

They also had 2 C6's there, one rag top and a coupe, also Ron Fellows and one of his older model C5R race car.
What an awesome machine.

Don

Last we heard, here, that show was cancelled. Last night, a friend in Kitchener called me and said Fellows was there, along with 400 or so Vettes.
Who dropped the ball, here?
Ron consulted with Dan (they raced together in the GM/Players Challenge back in the '80's) when plans were formed for this lil One Lapper, and Ron has not seen the car, yet. His schedule probably won't allow him to be at either the GM Tech Center show on 8/14, or Carlisle...
Wish someone had mentioned the show in St. Kitts was ON!
