Mike, again thanks for the pic's. I did find out that the car was the only 4-cylinder that Mallet modified, and the 327 refers to the HP the Tune puts out.
Also the only modification that was done to the car by Mallet Performance was the engine tune. All the other mods were done by the owner. Evidently when Mallet Performance was having $$$ issues in 2008 sales of the $20,000 V8 mods were almost nothing. So it was an attempt to sell a more cost effective upgrade to Solstice & Sky owners, taking the stock GXP or Redline engine from 260 to 327HP. Not bad.
I was also told most owners prefer this picture of the car with its alternate subject matter.
Thanks again for pointing out some Mallet history I was unaware of.
