Well the original GTO was created by putting a large V8 from a full-size into a mid-size body. So lets say the G8 GXP comes with an LS3, or possibly even a supercharged 6.2 variant. They said the Alpha cars can't fit a V8 in their engine bay, but some people have shoehorned an LS2 into the Kappa platform Solstice, so it very well may be possible to squeeze one into the Alpha car. You do that, and bam, you've got yourself a GTO. Say you have a base model with the 2.4L ecotec, and a GT version with the turboed 2.0L ecotec. Maybe a GXP version with a V6 making around 300hp, and finally a V8 powered GTO. That would be sweet.
