That looks really nice but why not just turbo or supercharge the 4 banger and keep the weight down? I wonder if they compensate for the extra weight ? I wonder if the 8 adds that much more weight to the front of the car? Hhhhmmmm. Now that i just read the first post ( i got to read stuff fully before typing lol) it looks like they do upgrade those things , damn! Still i wonder how hard it will be to change thing with it so tightly packed in the engine bay.

Well it does looks a lot better than the regular one (which still looks good). I like the blacked out grill and dark rims. I would deffinately like to own one of those. I havent had that feeling for any new GM cars in a long time.

Hey guys,
I love GM, but this looks impossible. If you look at the headers leaving the engine bay, it looks a little slim to be the LS2 headers. Also the air intake is so restricted based on the amount of air that is required to open up this bad boy, I dont think that this is for real. I have to see this one to believe. The solstice engine bay is WAY to small to fit in a LS2 not including a/c and all the bells.
If they just added on a FAT turbo it would be more efficient in my opinion. Small air intake, small headers = decrease of flow = waste of $$$ and time.
TURBO!!!!
Good find
