At least that’s what one Pontiac dealer’s employee is claiming, based on what he saw on the GM dealer website, under information about available options on the 2009 G8 GXP. He posted it on G8GT.com, with a request that the word be spread.

So, we’re obliging.

That’s a reference to the LS3 as an available option on next year’s G8 GXP. The LS3 is the base engine in the Corvette, an engine that produces, in the ‘Vette, 430 hp.

What was that about Pontiac building excitement?
