no thats the same electronically controled throttle body.
look at the bulk connector on the side of it.

Nice, they didnt show another ecotec Now lets see a production turbo 3500! How hard could it be to use the electronic TB controls? Wouldn't it just need some box hooked up to the gas pedal? I dunno how they read the pedal postion exactly but I can't imagine it being too hard.

Were there any hp/tq #s displayed with that car? Im curious what it can do.

Hmmmm......perhaps GM is addressing the terrible brakes in the N-Bodies???

I really like the looks of the engine and the GA, but why did they have to put the red accents in the engine bay (wire loom and couplers)?

I really like the looks of the engine and the GA,

yeah it looks good eh...

but why did they have to put the red accents in the engine bay (wire loom and couplers)?

because they have to appeal to the Rice boys to try and get their attn, unless it has coloured loom, they dont care about the how much actual hp it has. the loom adds the HP they want :P

bah whats wrong with plain BLACK loom?? maybe im just too old...

[ikessky]

Red is the color of passion, not speed. If you want to go fast, you need YELLOW!!!! :P Seriously though, I would like to see either black or even a blue loom.

[Manitcor]

anyone have anymore angles on this engine bay, I would like to see more of how the piping is routed and how the turbo is mounted to the exhaust manifold. Looks like its hooked to the rear manifold only but im not sure.

heh, I think I see gaffers tape wrapped around that large power cable on the lower side of the fuse box.

The car looks good though, I never thought I'd say that about a Grand Am though.

[Manitcor]

sure does look like gaffers tape, looks like they tried really hard to make it look OEM untill they went nuts with the loom and red coulpers.
