a few quotes from that artical above:
Not much new info but you can tell that that car has been modded way past sane. I am sure that that engine gets ripped apart every so often to keep it alive. When was the last time you had to rip apart a 3800 after driving a 1/4 mile? 
Just look at this engine, there is nothing left of the 2.2 ecotec:
the de-stroked 2.0-liter turbocharged and intercooled Ecotec engine produces more than 700 horsepower on a diet of methanol fuel
Chevy'* front-wheel drive motorsports program is powered by methanol
Chevrolet is working with GM'* Service Parts Operations to develop a portfolio of accessories targeted at the front-drive performance market, including custom accessories and a supercharger kit for 2.4-liter Quad 4 engines that boosts output by 40 horsepower over stock.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...the Ecotec is nothing to sneeze at. If you're a gearhead in need of a small little engine with decent hp numbers its a fine engine. And aluminum is nice and light!
