If this SS was out 4 months ago, I would've actually considered it. I didn't even bother with the SC.
As for power potential, The motor is ridiculously capped by the ECU. I'm still trying to get my dad to trade in the N/A for the Turbo..

This thing is under 3000lbs curb weight.. with the Turbo Ecotec.. x2
Absolutly. Table top torque curves aren't acheived naturally. There'* power there just waiting for a tune.
Even the N/A solstice is woken up A LOT (for an N/A car) by the ECU. But yeah, when it'* a completely flat line, somethings being clipped off.. The OBD 3 (IIRC) ecu in the GXP also has a lot of safety features in it. If any of a multitude of parameters are off, it starts killing power.
First time my dad drove my car, he asked me as he got out, " Is that what the GXP would be like?"
