Hopefully GM can spread the wealth with each new engine or technoligy to each brand more quickly these days. The LS7 never made it into anything outside of the Vette, I sure hope the LS9 or LSA can find a home outside of Corvette and the CTS-V before they are gone forever.
HSV has put a modified version of the LS7 in their new W427. Power figures are only estimates at the moment as HSV hasn't released them. Rumours are 370kW (Z06 is 373kW) and 640Nm (Z06 is 635Nm). But more recent rumours suggest they will boost to around 380kW and 645Nm.
