[Moose GXP]

Originally Posted by LatinVenom The GM person(s) specifically said the reason we have not brought it out yet is because we want to make sure it last. It is easily making 312 BHP (Flywheel) and with this type of increase it has to meet our requirements for durability. They were not only addressing the Solstice/SKY community but also the new Cobalt SS and the HHR SS, since it is the same engine on all the cars. Another thing he mentioned was a display (Cobalt SS) that they are working on that would give a lot of information about the engine. The new Cobalt SS coming out has a boost gauge on the pilar and he said that it was not enough and the display would take the place of the boost gauge. There was also a GXP that GM supports that is pretty much stock as far as the engine components other than a special tune been use for drifting. Is making around 330 BHP, using ALL the stock parts such as IC pipes and intercooler, same hoses and clamps. The suspension of course is upgraded but that is expected since it is a drift car. The tires in the back are 245x45x18 and the fronts are 245x40x18 Cooper's (They are an sponsor), it also has Norm's side fenders and rear diffuser. The calipers are the same as ours, do not know what type of pads it is using. On the rear brakes they added a second set of calipers that is control by a hydraulic e-brake, looks a strange seen to sets of calipers in the rear.

My prediction is less that 300 BHP..more like 290 and the Slobalt SS and especially HHR SS will be less than that as well. The potential for higher HP on those two is less considering they can't get the power to the ground even with the special launch control and no lift shift. Those aren't enhancements, they are requirements to make those cars even somewhat launchable.
