I don't think it's a "mine is better than yours" thread, he wants to know the best motor he can make fast in a somewhat economical fashion.

i may soon get the M62 eaton supercharger kit for $1500 and that'll put me at $4500 but also 250ish whp.

brand new with pioneer 7 speaker system, side airbags, no sunroof, no leather, low-pro wing. about 17,500. closer to 20k with tax. SS/TC's run close to 25k fully loaded. Not sure about 07 SS/SC's

Ide say the 2.4 probably has the most go fast potential w/o modifying the block.

the 2.0 comes out of the box with forced induction, you dont need any mods to go fast, you will love it regardless. Also, since it is the highest trim available, you get all the neat extras like leather seats and stuff. love love love my 2.0!!!!!
Only bad thing is parts availability, its not a common powertrain so prepare to wait for parts.. I always have mine overnighted from Lansing =) We have a great relationship with the local GM parts department.
neat extras like leather??? ummmm...guess what, you can get that in 2.4's too, I have all the neat extras too...except on-star.

i think he means like recaro's with the SS in them and the colored trim, and the G85 package, and some other stuff that just comes standard on a SS/SC. also the lip kit too.
