LS9 Powered 2001 Z28!
nice...
"638 HORSES PACKED INTO A SMALL SPACE
Who's afraid of confined spaces? Definitely not the GM Performance Parts build team. Starting with an engineering mule 2001 Z28 Camaro, our build team did the impossible. They fit the LS9 – the most powerful engine ever installed in a production Chevy (the ZR1 Corvette) – and married it to the small confines of a fourth-gen Camaro. The result is our LS9 Camaro, a 638-plus horsepower stunner that looks "factory."
Dave Ross from the GM Design Studios lent his creative genius to the project by taking the ZR1 design attributes and adding them to the last-gen Camaro. ZR1-spec paint and rims only hint at the supercharged, titanium-rodded, all-aluminum piece of automotive art that resides under the hood. Scott Parker – editor of GM High-Tech Performance magazine – recently drove the LS9 Camaro and will feature it in an upcoming issue. Plus, the LS9 Camaro just wrapped up a journey of more than 1,000 miles on the Hot Road Power Tour last month."

It says in the article it's a 1999, not 2001. The steering wheel would have the radio controls if it was 2000+.

A steering wheel proves nothing, it could have been changed out. My OP has the original GM Performance Parts email quote, email was sent from GMPP today. The email links here:

Here's the content of the email online:

What would be the point in swapping out the factory steering wheel for a factory non-radio control one? The interior APPEARS to be stock, with exception of the gauge pillar and aftermarket cluster setup. Just saying. Someone messed up the year because it is saying a 99 in the first link you posted, now it's saying it's a 2001 in the second. Was the SS hood and wing added? The inside dash plaque only says 'Camaro'. I didn't read anything about what they did appearance-wise inside and out.

^ Wow, next thing you will tell us is that '99s had nose emblem deletes standard, and that is the definitive proof. My information is from the source, I would let the source speak, GMPP. If you are so curious, phone or write GMPP and ask. But who really cares except trolls?
