You guys in US are getting the SS version, in Redline specification I believe, hence the lack of options.

http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2013/...iced-at-44470/

US version has 6.2 litre LS3, Aust version has 6.0

More details here, http://www.holden.com.au/cars/commod...e/ss-v-redline

Here is the TV ad for the new daily

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=UC9qnjOUjss

Took a new Clubsport (similar but withoutSC driveline) for a test drive, really impressed with how refined it felt, but with good exhaust note.

Seats not as good as the CTS-V (damn you SW ), hopefully GTS ones are.

Expected delivery late September.

cheers

No LHD HSVs, but you can get the Chevy SS, put a blower on it, some suspension mods etc. Of course you can take mine for a spin when you come down here
