so they got 330hp and 425 ft lbs at the crank... so with a full 3 inch catless setup and a tune they probably dynoed ~280whp 360wtq. That's not bad, but im wondering why it is lacking so much in the hp department. What turbo is the lnf running? Im assuming its pretty damn small and they are runnin high boost with that tune and its gettin HOT up top.
what are you talking about? the ss/sc didn't fail to meet new specs just because it's supercharged...there are ALOT of supercharged vehicles still.
Well, you can blame our "wonderful" enviromentalist hippie I-want-to-tell-you-how-to-live asshats and congress for the demise of supercharged production cars. ZR1 excepted of course
.
On topic, its cool. If I didn't already have the SC, I would be looking at one of these.

Maybe I should have been more specific.
From the C&D article on the TC: The SS Supercharged had to be discontinued because its blown four didnt comply with emissions regulations for 2008.
Maybe not all SC cars, but ours, the SC 3800 series engine, both due to this.

The turbo is tiny. It's similar to the Borg Warner K04. It'll be one think you'll want to upgrade down the road... Right now folks in the GXP/Redline community are working on turbo alternatives. The retarded GM flanges don't help. Working on that too. :O)

the federal government said that all 4 cylinder cars will be held to a standered of a 32mpg rating accross the board. the SS/SC did not meet that factory rating no matter what people actually got out of it. What GM rated it at is what the government is looking at. So there for the SS/SC had to be taken out of production. To bad too, they might have switched to the GEN 7 M62 had this not taken place.
