Pontiac Solstice GXP

The sleek new two-seater gets more power with the debut of the Solstice GXP, which features GM’s all-new Ecotec 2.0-liter turbo, the most powerful production engine in the Ecotec family. This turbo with direct injection kicks a V-6’s worth of power out of a four-cylinder engine, an estimated 260 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. It will arrive in dealerships this summer.

hmmm, i wonder how that motor would do in a f body. would be an interesting swap, less weight and v6 power...who knows. But would definatley be cool to retrofit into a early 80's camaro with an original I4.

A specially-prepared Corvette Z06 will serve as the Official Pace Car of the 48th annual Daytona 500, on Feb. 19. With 505 horsepower, the Corvette Z06 is the fastest car produced by Chevrolet and GM. Because of the unique restrictor plate rule at Daytona, which limits airflow into the cars’ engines to keep track speeds below 200 mph, the Corvette Z06 actually makes more horsepower than the cars competing in the Daytona 500 – a first for a pace car.

the ZO6 would lose, the suspension and tires arent up to nextel cup level. It would still be interesting though. Oh and what they mean by specially prepped is they put decals and a light bar on it. it doesnt need any other modifications.

is this the first car since the TTA that didn't need any technical mods in order to be the pace car?

I belive that the 02 CETA Also was a pace car, and required no modifications to the car outside of a light bar.

ws.6's are overrated. "ram air" - more like "adds extra drag"
edit: also, firehawk hood >>>>> regular ta hood > ws6 hood
