They've got a hotter version coming next year with 250 hp turbo 2.0L.

Hmmm.. Turbo roadster.. I might go for that. One of the reasons I never grabbed a Miata.. well, first of all it's kinda twinky looking. Second, it's underpowered for my taste. I like the S2000, but it's too.. Honda... It'd be nice to have a viable alternative. I tend to think the Saturn whateverthehell and the Pontiac Solstice are better looking, more masculine and hopefully (in the future) more powerful.



The only other late model roadster I like is the Prowler, but those things are RETARDED when it comes to maintenance.

Pontic should but that 6.0 litre V8 in that solstice with the same gearbox as the SSR, talk about a groundpounder!

GM has a book available at the parts counter telling you what you need to do to make 1200 hp out of the Ecotec. Keep the motor it comes with.
