I'll bet that the STS Northstar particularly as a  "euro" version would do
that easily.  Euro trim for U.S. built cars used to mean all kinds of
goodies that we couldn't get.  It probably still means that the electronic
speed limiter is removed or raised, tighter suspension, better tires, better
brakes, etc., etc.  The Northstar 4 cam 32 valve is the same basic engine
that Caddy used in their LeMans attempt last year.
