One word:

EMISSIONS

The LSX is not emissions-compliant anywhere in North America, so the chances of getting one "factory-installed" for licensed, street-driven purposes is ZERO...

Another word:

LIABILITY

Ever wonder why you can go to a GM Dealer, order an LS9 crate engine, but NOT be able to purchase through GM the proper electronics to "speak" to anything but a Corvette? Yup...liability... GM will take the risk, for warranty AND liability, on a ZR1 (I'm sure it's factored into it's price...), but at the moment that's the ONLY chassis the LS9 is "cerified and validated" for, by GM.

NO chassis has that "blessing" for the LSX, and no street version of the LSX is expected...
