Since people on this site count hp in ones and twos .....

I'm not trying to split hairs here but, the Solstice has 177hp, as posted by Pontiac......if it is the unboosted engine.

Lets not forget that decals add another 1/10th horsepower per decal.
\ I really dont know alot about HP but my last ride was 140 hp, 2700 lbs(01 tiburon)
and it had alot more "butt" feel, i find the 2.2 very slow to wind up, maybe lighter pulleys,flywheel would help.... just my 2 canadian cents,
