Re: 476kw LS9 HSV GTS-R....

I see this as a logical and final progression for HSV. The 2016 CTS-V is already running the LS9. HSV would leverage much of the development already poured into the CTS-V. The only concern I see is that the CTS-V (currently) only offers an automatic, an eight-speed automatic at that! Would HSV be content with selling an auto-only GTS-R? Would it be cost-effective for HSV to offer the eight-speed automatic as a one-off? I suppose that the LS9 is a one-off engine, so perhaps that train of thought would extend to the whole driveline. If a manual is offered, would it be viable to fit the seven-speed manual as well? I wouldn't have tbought so, unless Cadillac decide to offer the manual at a later date and have already carried out much of the development.
