Aussie Version Of Chevy SS May Get C6 Corvette ZR1's 638-Horsepower V-8 - Motor Authority
The Chevrolet SS muscle sedan’s Australian cousin, the Holden Commodore, already has a high-performance variant built by HSV that’s fitted with the 580-horsepower 6. 2-liter LSA V-8 engine common to the fifth-gen Camaro ZL1 as well as previous... Citing insiders, Australian publication Drive is reporting that HSV is working on a new Commodore variant that will pack the 6. 2-liter LS9 V-8 fitted to the C6 Corvette ZR1. The engine, which is available in crate form , develops a peak 638 hp... Apparently the LS9 is a better fit than General Motors Company’s [NYSE:GM] newer LT V-8s like the 650-hp LT4 in the C7 Corvette Z06, hence the decision to go with the older mill.
