No, I don't. Certainly not in the numbers that the LS3 cars do ... and thats already a pretty low bar.
An LS9 powered SS sedan would likely be an absolute minimum price of 70 grand, probably over 80 if it has to be done through an aftermarket shop. How many people do you think would be willing to spend that kind of money on a Chevy sedan when they could get either a Hellcat Charger for a lot less, or a CTS-V for a little more? Or just get a regular SS sedan supercharged, with more than enough money left over to just straight up buy a brand new LS3 in case that one blows. Again, this is keeping in mind that fewer than 3000 people each year decide to buy a regular SS.

Fens point is that Holden (and therefore GM) isn't putting LS9s into Commodores. The manufacturer has nothing to do with the engine upgrade. They just provide the rest of the car (and a now surplus LS3).
