LS3s are in the upcoming Impala, Grand Prix, and I think Monte Carlo. They have 300HP/300TQ and FWD too

Pontiac had a television commercial out for a car with the LS4. Cn't remember much about it, though.

Never heard of an LS3 or LS9... Until now, I guess.

LS4 is the FWD 5.3L V8 with DoD used in the Impala SS/GP GXP

LS3 is new motor that will succeed the LS2.. (450HP)
LS9 is the supercharged LS3 (600HP)

IIRC, the LS3 uses the unported LS7 heads
