throw a turbo on it and void teh warranty, not worth buying a new car to do that.
i wanted to get teh GXP to get back into autocross and attend open track events with. making a car rotate in the tight confines of an autocross course with stability control sucks balls. you basically have to stop to turn in, no hanging the rear with throttle allowed.
do you honestly believe no one woudl buy a solstice if the turbo motor was a $1000 and all the other things were also options? logic and history would tell you that more units move when a consumer can get what they really want, especially if you can offer it at a lower initial price.
if you don't believe me look at the fastest growing brand in the country, scion. you see a base model car, and pick options one by one to make the car you want.
GM got stuck on this big option group thing some time in the late 70's and woudl benefit greatly from letting it go at least on some models.
