No, new L99 = LS3 with Dod/AFM.
BTW, G8 gets the LS3, no Dod/AFM for that.
Also 3.27 A6 (3.70 M6) rear vs. 2.92 Auto , so the GXP should be much quicker.
GM is stating 13.0 1/4 mile, 4.7 0-60; not bad for a stocker if those number hold true. LS3 will make more power than L76, you're starting with 40hp more and from what we know so far (402 rating is because of restrictive intake/exhaust compared to the vette ratings, so there's probably 20hp right there....just like in the GT).
Just going to come down to price difference--$5-6K no way, 3-4K hmm: 40 hp, better gears, better seats, brembos, better suspension, better front fascia...
Here's some pics of a GXP, in Michigan:

Well.from all accounts those pics (and the GXP Car in Aussie land) are what its gonna look like--not too much different than a regular G8.
I don't think we'll see the HSV type treatment here at least not for 09.
Heck just get the LS3 in there, give us a price and get to making them.
