true, but still FI, I wonder if it has some type of intercooler
Yes it has one. I think it's air to water. Hum I'm confused now. I went to Saturn’s website and it says that the torque is supposed to be 200lbs but the dyno has it at 169lbs

I’m manly interested in this because of what may happen with the Pontiac Solstice. It is on the same engine platform. They are going to come with the 2.4 Ecotec but after there out for a year our two there is talk of a turbo or supercharged version.

It would be nice if GM would actually make something worth owning. The only car in their lineup that I would consider owning is the Corvette. Jury is still out on the GTO.

I believe the new gto will do well. Only thing I don't like that they did on it was the size. The original gto's were pretty big cars. This new one is a little smaller than the grand prix. It was a good idea but if that is there replacement for the f-bodies then Bring the f-bodies back.

Yep I must say it has spoiled me. There’s also the torque factor I have now become accustomed with lots of torque at 245lbs soon 300+
