My source has led me to believe that there are options as to which V8 variant you buy, be it Holden or HSV. So I feel there will be some engine change/update from at least HSV, so Holden will follow also. I say this in relation to discussions regarding entirely different exhaust componentry and layout etc etc. too many things I have been told point towards substantial changes.

i think it will be like with the early VE's. HSV had the ls2, whilke holden got the l98/76 --> Which is basically an ls2 block with DoD heads and different cam.
HSV will still have the ls3, but the holden's will get the 'ls3' block with afm heads and different cam. It will be called something else (ie not ls3) and eventually
hsv's will get the lt1....

I have no inside info.....only what I've read.
So, I've read that maybe a "6.2L" engine will find its way into SS, particularly for the American market.
When VZ was introduced, HSV was the 1st to receive LS2...shortly after the Corvette, so I would expect the same to happen with LT1....but I reckon there'll be more of a delay than with LS2.
VF HSV?..What I'm hearing is that initially they will be LS3 powered, but I'm also hearing that GTS is going to have more power, I've also heard "LSA".....but this engine may be too "old" to use, although I'm sure no-one would complain about 432kw?
All "speculation", from me anyway, at this stage.

This transition period would be a good time for HSV to implement the LSA. 415kW isn't it?
