Sambo, the L76's have the hardware and software but it is switched off in the PCM. I don't know if ALL the hardware is there for the DOD. I know the VVT hardware is not there at all.

The current L98 doesn't have any of the hardware but does have the software in the PCM.

That media release just confirms the suspicions around the marketplace. ie. Holden will be introducing the DOD and maybe the VVT in 2008.

The quest for better emissions and mileage from large engined cars is behind all these moves.

However. another problem for Holden Australia is "Will Australians accept their V8 sedan sounding like a 4 banger on the highway". I'm told there are all sorts of testing being done on exhaust systems.

Cheers
