The 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP has a 2.0 liter dual-scroll turbocharged I-4 with direct injection and other performance parts.
press release:
The heart of the Solstice GXP is the Ecotec 2.0-liter turbo engine, GM’s first direct injection offering in North America . It produces 260 horsepower (194 kw) and 260 lb.-ft. of torque (353 Nm), * making it GM’s highest specific output engine ever, at 2.1 horsepower per cubic inch of displacement (130 hp / 97 kw per liter), and the most powerful production engine in the Ecotec family.
*SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) certification pending. A new voluntary power and torque certification procedure developed by the SAE Engine Test Code committee was approved March 31, 2005. This procedure (J2723) ensures fair, accurate ratings for horsepower and torque by allowing manufacturers to certify their engines through third-party witness testing.

Dual-scroll means that the exhaust manifold and turbine housing have two pathways for exhaust to flow. This allows the exhaust gases from the two cylinders that fire won't be mixed with the other two that aren't fired.
You can see the split in the turbine housing below.

Any chance you have a link for that information?
This is what I found on it.

A dual-scroll turbocharger with a lightweight turbine provides nearly instant power, and an air-to-air intercooling system boosts the turbo’s performance by reducing inlet temperatures. Dual cam phasing complements the turbocharging system by optimizing valve timing at lower rpm for best turbo response and quick access to engine torque.

I didn't see and info on misc. cylinder deactivation.

About a rear wheel drive Monte Carlo, it has already been done to an older 1995 Monte Carlo. I am going to post the link but you guys have prolly already have seen this, but I still think it is badass. So if this can be done, I think a new body style can be done.

oh btw does anyone have any performance specs on that turbocharged soltice now thats the kinda engine that was made for that car. and it is true that mallet has slapped an ls2 up in that bastard crazily the thing only ran mid twelves basically stock performance as a stock vette from which the engine originally came from.

I just don't think that a FWD car (from GM) would do very well in the quarter mile. I would think that the wieght factor of the engine, the relatively GM'y suspension, and the V8 would cause a hell of a lot of torque steer.
To be honest though I am not an expert on the quarter mile FWD or RWD etc. We checked out a 400 hp RSX though and when the thing changed gears it jumped towards the curb. It actually scared the crap out of my brother in law.
It is just that when you see a 400 hp RX7 at the track it with a serious driver it tends to embarass the American crowd (when they have similiar numbers). The wieght of the rotary is closer to a turbo 4's FWD wieght (though 60,000 miles and an engine rebuild on the rotary is just stupid plus the fuel economy).
I would just like to see how well a serious (new model) FWD Monte Carlo can perform at the track. A 5.7 liter LSwhatevertheynumberedit sounds nice in the Monte but I've seen 400 hp Impala's only drag there fat @ss in the low 14's with a professional driver.
Imagine how that would get better with a better suspension set-up (4128 lbs works against it).

this has been discussed for eon's over on the gtp boards. Truth of the matter is is the cost isn't worth it.
Not to mention us high power gtp's have no problem running 1.5's and low 1.6's. there are ton of mods for handling and racing these cars as they are the same basic car since 1995 for the monte and lumina back then, supercharged gtp's and gs showed up in 97 and 98 along with the intrigue. needless to say the gxp and ss cars are the wbody were all familar with since the mid 90's. I've been racing these cars since 99 and its not hard to hook them.

these cars run 14's cause they suffer from what i call the gto syndrome. They have a **** load of torque management in place and electronic throttle stuff holding them back. There doing everything possible to try and keep the stock form 4t65e. However there are so many upgraded parts for the 4t65e it isn't even funny, gear changes, hardened input and out put shafts, limited slip diffs, 1 inch drive chains and so on. Us gtp guys have been racing these car forever now. We have 6 cylinder cars in the 9's all the way to bolt on cars running low 13's - high 12's.

As far as the thead topic goes - why bother. Buy a rwd and be done. Spend your hard earned cash on some extra beer. A super fast fwd is something I want a friend of mine to own. That why I can know all about it, experience it, yet not have to pour tons of money into it gettin over all the obsticles of fwd. I'll stick with rwd.
