SEMA 2015: 272hp 1967 Ecotec Nova

At the Chevy booth this year we find something that I find unique and cool compared to so many ridiculous v8 protouring cars. This Nova is equipped with a LTG 2.0l ecotec 4 cylinder turbocharged motor. Making 272hp and 295 ft lbs of torque (at 3k rpm no less) running through a 6 speed transmission. 17″ wheels keep it understated and tasteful and a monochromatic none-more-black paint scheme gives it a sinister air. The only shame is that the msrp on this caddy-powered Nova is nine thousand dollars for the engine alone. Nothing that could keep you from finding a wrecked solstice or skyline and making a similar build a much lower buy in though.
