Here is a link to the ute (pick up) version lapping Nurburgring, in a sub 8.20 min

This is with 6.0 litre, the US is getting the 6.2 LS3

The USA SS is based on the new Gen V LT 6.2 engine, it is going to be awhile before they can modify it. http://www.chevrolet.com/ss-sports-s...ml#Performance I was talking to Brian Thomson of (Thomson Automotive) about that Gen V engines, and GM has designed it so it be harder to modify.
