Default LS9 used in a low production Sedan in Australia?

So I was recently shown this and I was blown away because I was under the impression that the LS9 was only used in the C6ZR1. The pics I’ve seen of this car appears to be an Ls9 but I notice the power numbers are different by a little. Just thought I’d share. I thought our engine was unique to our cars. 🤦‍♂️

Holden Specialty Vehicles or HSV. Was basically a performance division of Holden. Holden made the Pontiac G8 and the Chevy SS.

They would transplant the LS9 into what was essentially a Chevy SS in NA. Specific front and rear bumpers, wheels, and other parts. Would have been awesome if GM would have sold a version of it here in America. Instead GM decided to dissolve Holden.

You can find a good number of videos on youtube on Holden cars.
