...how bizarre that they list it. In case you bought the prototype but aren't sure what boots to put on it, perhaps?

crApple can't view that page, but the v8 option is listed in several places. Tis obviously. But also a few other manufacturers still list it ...none of which I can remember as I type this. :-\

Europe didn't get the Monaro. Britain did.

Nope - nothing to do with the Holden.
Opel tried and suceeded in getting the LS1 into the Omega. Properly prepared for sale, but GM high-ups binned the programme and they came up with the excuse of "cooling problems".
A couple of years later, Vauxhall imported first the 4-door and later the Monaro.
Although the Holden VT platform is based on Omega B, it's a bit longer and a bit wider.
