And,....Drum roll please, Taaaa Daaaa,. -- the greatest & most famous
sportscar of all time has a dry sump oil system - the Porsche 911. The oil
level is checked with the engine idling. ;-)

The dry sump was also used on the M100 engine, Triumph motorcycles and
lots
of aircraft applications. I think the 300SL (not the 90s one, but the
real 300SL) had a dry sump. I believe the water cooled Allisons, Rolls
Royce and Daimler-Benz V-12 aircraft engines of WWII were all dry sump
