Camaro - Rumor has it it will get a 4cyl engine

The engines in the solstice dont break down, its the fit and finish that isnt upto par making it "unrealiable" since it was rushed thru developement.

Sounds cool and the modding community would surely jump on it.

The modding community is at a stand still right now with the 2.0L turbo engine from the gxp. It doesnt allow you to extract any power from it due to the nazi'ish bosch ecm. Any gains that you get from mods the ecm counters it by lowering the boost. Install a boost controller and it closes the throttle or goes into limp mode once it gets past the torque values its ment to achieve.
I thought when i bought this car i'd be able to extract easy hp from it like on my dsm, but its been nothing but a nightmare. Even my hptuners software is useless because they havent been able to fully unlock the complicated ecm.

The UK Astra VXR has been boosted from 240 to 280hp here.

Thorney motorsports, a well known UK tuner, has options up to 375hp, here.

Those cars dont use the lnf engine found in the solstice/sky.

It's the same engine. Minor differences exist, but they are both 1998cc Ecotec motors and use the same ECU, AFAIK. Your complaint was laid with the ECU and I'm saying it's cracked.

Which software can manipulate it? I know bsr from germany has a tune for it, but who would pay $1000 for that.
Are those engines direct injected too?

I don't know. Contact Thorney and ask them. You could be the first US tuner to tweak these if you get the info first.

That software that they sell is simply a device that uploads the tunes to the ecm, it doesnt actually allow you to edit anything. Thats the problem here, there is no software out there that allows the average joe to manipulate the bosch ecm at all, the car has been out since fall 06 and no one can edit anything themselves.

Not at all. They offer custom rolling road tuning.

Well, let me just say this: If i were even considering a Camaro, an I4 engine option wouldn't even be taken into consideration. A HO V6 model would be very borderline.
