GM is going to be de-stroking the 2.4L down to 2.2L and supercharging it. Then they're going to put it in the Pontiac Solstice. Production ECOTECs have a relatively long stroke compared to their bore (94.6mm stroke/86mm bore for the 2.2L, 98mm stroke/88mm bore for the 2.4L), so de-stroking it makes it more reliable while under boost, something GM needs to do for a relatively high-volume production engine.
Also, the Redline isnt a bad car, stop knocking the stupid panels, there's still a steel "exoskeleton" underneath said panels, and the corvette uses the same material for it's body, so quit with your obvious bias against the car. (Note: I hate the interior with its central-mounted guages, don't get me wrong.) Personally I'd wait for the (supposedly) lighter, faster, better looking and nicer interior'd Chevy Cobalt SS/SC.
