2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP
2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP

Spied on a recent engineering test trip in the mountains, this prototype of the new Pontiac Solstice sports some additional high-performance hardware, including dual exhaust pipes and an intercooled engine.
The high-output model, slated to follow the introduction of the 2006 Solstice by a year, is rumored to be powered by a supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that will make around 200 horsepower and will be harnessed to a six-speed manual transmission.
The standard Solstice, which Detroit auto show crowds adored in concept form in 2004, debuts this fall.
The two-seater will be outfitted with a 177-horsepower four-cylinder engine and five-speed manual gearbox, four-wheel disc brakes, 18-inch wheels and tires, a CD player and a glass rear window -- all for $19,995.

Re: 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP
That article isn't even close. Sounds like they just assumed that the car would get the supercharged engine from the Ion RL/Cobalt SS. Which is not the case.
EDIT: Reread it, and he does say "rumored" (too bad the rumor is false). Big surprise that it is Paul Leniert, though... :blah:

Isn't adjusting "boost" one if the easiest ways to make more HP?
