concept, although chances are 50/50. (if the solstice sells well we will see this puppy most likely) Still a tad confused as to why they use a 2.0 instead of the 2.4eco...

The 2.0L Ecotec is designed for boost, it can also spin higher creating more flow through the Hot Side of the turbo, thus creating more boost. The 1000+ HP Ecotec drag motor is the 2.0L Ecotec.

spoiler = only thing im not to fond of, other then that, i really like it, and would be extremely inclined to buy one. I love the regular solstice... but it just doesnt have enough stock hp, and I would be tweaking it, which is bad due to the whole voiding the warrenty.

It's not my favourite interpretation... I liked the original Gravana concept photos.

The hardtop is a nice idea... The Spoiler, I could live without, same with the hood, and front airdam (Don't like the giant Fog lights... it's not an EVO).

not a giant foglight, it's the factory foglight/blinker cluster resessed into an induction vent. i like that bumper....but hate cheers and gears, and the idiots with fake spy shots. Most unreliable GM source on the entire web.

Ahh... I see... For some reason I was thinking the solstice bumper was like the Cobalts... dunno why.

Still like the factory one better than that one.

I think he means that it can spin faster by virtue of it's desigh (bore and stroke + forged rods). That is why it is used in the drag eco.
