   Solstice with Corvette Power?

There was discussion few weeks back about the camaro possibly getting our turbo engine.
Not sure if people noticed this... but in this article, Lutz is quoted as saying

"he [Lutz] told me that Chevrolet could deliver a version of the Solstice that gives the same performance as a Corvette C6 within two years."
C6 = 400hp

The criss-cross of "Chevrolet deliver a version of Solstice"...
Is he saying moving the Corvette to the Kappa platform? Is that why they are moving Kappas to Kentucky???

Imagine the Camaro With a Four-Banger Mill | Autopia from Wired.com

Lutz is wildly enthusiastic about that powerplant. At a dinner in Los Angeles months ago, he told me that Chevrolet could deliver a version of the Solstice that gives the same performance as a Corvette C6 within two years. I've had track time with both the Solstice and the Sky (and the Corvette C6). Power delivery on the Pontiac and the Saturn is magnificently well matched to both the wheel base and weight. A fellow blogger owns a Ferrari F430 and a Saturn Sky. He told me he prefers his Saturn.

I guess it's time to start the Corvette Stingray rumor back up again...
