A tuned up GTS will be a weapon. And I will be lining up to get one.
You mean the GTS-R, right? And just on that - tuning that is - the LS9 has titanium rods and valve springs, forged for the remainder of the internals, 2.3L blower in place of the LSA's 1.9L unit, larger factory intercooler plus dry sump lubrication. Whether or not HSV elect to go wet sump like the CTS-V - who knows? They went dry sump for the W427, so they probably have a lot of the ground work done. In any case though, the LS9 is a SERIOUS piece of kit over the already formidable LSA. It's a tuner's dream motor, really...
