Default What's this ground cable?

Have been working on a major engine project the last few months and cleaned out the random parts been over the weekend. I found this ground cable and I'm on sure if it's from the vette or what is for.

Thanks!

I believe that is one of the engine to chassis ground... at least that's what one of mine looks like in my 2010 GS

I will have to look, I think it goes from the head to the chassis... I'll see if I can get a picture of it for you.
