If they would do that with the sky and I lost 6" i'd buy it the day it came out.

very very nicely. obviously the DI 2.0 (gxp) is a better platform but both come with forged internals.

The following is still very small due to the low-run and impracticality of the original kappas (sol/sky) but so far with just turbo swaps they have been good for 400whp.

I can't wait to see what happens when hptuners fully cracks the ecu on the 2.0 LNF - so far power can only be sustained by fooling various sensors to believe it's still within factory specs.

most likely. the reason they went with a targa is so they wouldn't have to reengineer all of the structural braces for safety standards so they probably aren't changing around much. the gxp comes manual now (auto is another $k or something).

with the economy the way it is, it is rumored that the price won't raise too much. base is 22k; gxp is 28 atm.

with that said...... it is really really tempting to trade in; swap my turbo over and have a trunk. best of both worlds!
