Where does it say 372kw? 403 ps is only around 300kw.
They have better fuel than us, so it might get a bit more power, not that much.

403PS is 297kW. 372kW is 505PS.

If the 7.0 in the Z06 makes 512PS (505bhp or 377kW) nowhere in the GM world will you see an equal power engine, especially if its just an LS2.

Oh and FYI, 297kW is 398bhp.

GoAuto mentions 368kW......VXR500 goes by name

There is a write up in todays Courier Mail on the Vauxhall Monaro VXR. Vauxhall install a supercharger which makes 372kws. HSV has said "They won't do that here".

That would be a Vauxhall only thing that's not officially part of the world GM lineup. Just like the C4B that HSV used in the GTS300. It still baffles me that they did, because the LS6 from the Z06 was both cheaper, more powerful and torquier (302kW 542Nm vs 300kW 510Nm).

Vauxhall have had supercharged versions of HSVs before too
