Default LS Swapped Saturn Sky?

Was wondering if anyone has ever thrown a LS1 or whatever into a Saturn Sky? Kind of dig the look of them. Didn't know the Saturn Sky Redline made 290 hp 340 lb tq & runs 13s. Pretty impressive out of a turbo 2.0 engine. Either way I bet it make for a hell of a LS swapped car if it could be done. Pretty much like a Miata.

Was kind of impressed that it hung in against a cammed/stalled LS1 for a little bit haha

looks cool but I 'd just try to get more out of the 2.0 with a bigger turbo.
I'm hoping for a cts-v convertible myself as the miata v8.

I used to work at the Saturn Shop here in Fargo and some guy stopped by with his LS swapped Sky Redline on the trailer, he also had a big turbo remote mounted under the back!

Those 2.0L turbo motors are the same motors that zzperformance is making huge power with. Go to the bottom of this page. Not worth the cost of a ls swap in my eyes.
