The clip of the Individual throttle bodies revving? if so, it's not a member, nor is it a lexus. It from this site and the engine is in a rally car.

That looked like a stock c6 Vette. Look at the wheels and the fenders The ZO6 has fatter rear fenders and the wheels design is different.. Got to love the Vette Engine.. LS2, and the beastly LS7

Its a Z06. The vid is not real clear but there are two things to look for:
1. At the start, you see the vette from the side and you will see the Z06 badge. Although its not clear,
the regular C6 does not have a badge there.
2. As the lambo gets the initial jump, you will get a quick glimpse of the hood scoop that the Z06 has but a C6 does not.

Edit:
There's one last clue that's its a Z06, At the end of the race, you get a glimpse of the gages. The
stock C6 has the flag embllem on both the Tach and Speedo. The Z06 has "Z06" on the tach and
the flag emblem on the speedo.
