Probably has a tune. One of my friends had a 285... One of the best sounding stock cars ever made!

Yep, in the VT-VY days, the 5.7 had no rival in terms of outright power, tunability and noise. The 5.0 canadian wheezer was no match.

I've always found stock LS1s to sound crap. Modified ones were okay, but IMO the Windsor sounded a lot better.
