light ass motor corvette wheel base amazing handling deadly combo!!!

Anything is possible. Just depends on how much money and time you want to spend/waste. Biggest problem I would see is having the cars computer communicate with the Honda's electronics and make sure it passes your states emissions inspection tests. But I'm sure it can be done. Also voids your five year warranty.

I just don't understand why GM doesn't just offer their N/A 304HP LLT V6 and cash in on all the money current Solstice owners are spending on aftermarket turbos, superchargers, and V8 engine swaps. All the car needs is a little more low end grunt -304HP is nice too.

I think GM could actually make some money on the Kappa by offering the LLT V6 option because their are customers willing to pay a premium for that low end grunt. Also, the LLT is actually less expensive than the LNF turbo.
