Anyway, 150 hp/L is a lot to ask for. Sure, they could but as always ... just because you can doesn't mean you should. Adding displacement makes things cheaper and easier. Plus, it gives enthusiast more room to play. No replacement for displacement! 2.4L@20 psi > 2.0L@20psi
Isn't this the motor in the Regal GS tuned to 255 HP? Also I believe the regular turbo regal is a version tuned for 220. I think even the 220 HP version would make the cruze a decently fun driver's car. While it is a bit overwhelmed by the Regals weight the Cruze is what 600 or so pounds lighter?
