I have a 2007 GXP that i bought it with a blown motor from an old guy who's health was failing and he was unloading some stuff. He had just put on a Hahn Racing Inter-cooler, Inter-cooler pipes and blow off valve. He also put in a stage 2 high performance GM computer chip and punched out the catalytic converter and installed a new turbocharger. Because the engine already had 120,000 KM on it, as soon as he stepped on the gas, a piston rod bent and it smashed into the bottom of the engine and destroyed it. He had only put 40km on it before he blew it up! I ordered a brand new third generation Ecotec engine (came with a new turbo as well so now i have a spare) which has a better sand cast block rather than the foam loss casting of the first generation blocks, better pistons and rods and produces 270 hp stock rather than 260 hp and the block can withstand up to 500 hp and the internals up to 400 hp. He also just had installed a new clutch, brakes, struts, exhaust, tires and battery. I have never dynoed it but i would conservatively guess 350 hp. This car is so light that it goes like a rocket! Not bad for a 2 liter 4 banger. ;)
WOW. what a pretty car (7 times now)
