Seems like you could get to 360 whp without an engine swap and for a lot less $$$.

What a waste of money. A big motor in a girls car. I'd rather have a Z06.

theres one problem. Its a Solstice. And it has one of the worst interiors I've ever seen. The door panels were seriously designed by rubbermaid.

If I had the spare cash lying around I'd buy it in a second. It's the same idea as the Shelby Cobra or the monster miata: small convertible, big motor. It's a winning combination in my book!
