No because then it wouldn't be an ls3. It would be a lt1 that we aren't getting anytime soonQuote:

I would like to see this as the GTS for me has certainly lost its appeal - hell, the retirees approaching 70 odd down the road have one??Quote:

They are NOT selling... but if anyone thinks the'r going to get a new one in the 60's... the're kidding themselves... but would be a bloody good buy.Quote:

GTS aren't such a bad thing after all????
Regular production VF HSV's will continue with the 325KW LS3 for at least the first 12 months of its model life till the LT1 is ready.
There wont be a "GTS" till atleast late 2013, it will be a special run model and have the LSA. I don't believe it will return to being a regular model in the line up though but sold as a "special", read $$$.

Yeah, fair call. I assumed because it was still a 6.2 it was LS3, thought the Gen 5 was going to be 5.5.Quote:

the 5.5 speculation was wrong. it was a guess based off the c6r race car. I cant imagine them using the LSA once the LT1 is out. why revert to old technology? the LT1 is the future, surely the GTS will just run an up-specced LT1
It wont be over 415/432 in the GTS i believe around 400.Quote:
