Oops, missed that. I guess I should read more carefully and not ASSume things.

Oh well, one could slap a turbo on it, no?

It's a "new" 1.4L per the article, so not likely anytime soon [someone has to develop it, etc].

What, 98 horsepower isn't enough for you? At least its up from 84 horsepower. Thats a 16% improvement! On the other hand, it still doesn't come close to cracking the 20 lbs/hp mark

All this talk of overpowered Sparks got me thinking ... GM should do a Spark for SEMA with the LT4. I'm sure it can be done with enough effort. Might have to make it into a mid-engined 2 seater ... but it would certainly catch people's attention.

A 2.0T would be enough.

Styling is MUCH better this go-'round. A faint nod to the SS Sedan.
