<p class="prHeadline">PONTIAC SUNFIRE AUTOCROSS HITS 240 HORSEPOWER 
  WITH 2.0-LITER ENGINE</p>
<p>Sunfire has kept the tradition of sporty, aerodynamic design 
  alive at Pontiac, and is a symbol of style, fun and excitement 
  in the youth-oriented segment. At the 2003 Specialty Equipment 
  Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, Pontiac expands Sunfire&#8217;s 
  appeal with a Sunfire Autocross show car, one of several performance-tuned, 
  specially equipped show vehicles suitable for Autocross racing 
  applications.</p>
<p>The Sunfire Autocross show car is equipped with a supercharged, 
  intercooled 2.0-liter, 240-horsepower engine, as well as performance-tuned 
  custom struts and shocks, cat-back exhaust, Stainless Steel Brakes 
  rotors and calipers and lowered wheel-to-body ride height.</p>
<p>A number of custom enhancements give the Autocross Sunfire a 
  more substantial, performance-oriented appearance, including custom 
  upper grille and lower front and rear fascias, rear spoiler and 
  rockers, projector beam headlamps and dual aluminum exhaust outlet. 
</p>

<p>Custom 18-inch wheels and BF Goodrich g-force T/A KD tires complete 
  the performance package. Inside, custom aluminum pedals, a custom 
  shifter knob and racing-inspired front seats with four-point belts 
  add performance touches. A Delphi custom cluster package offers 
  redesigned graphics.</p>
<p>The Sunfire Autocross features a hydrographic trim kit in carbon 
  fiber. This appearance trim kit, to be offered as a Pontiac Accessory, 
  enables owners to custom trim their vehicles in potentially hundreds 
  of patterns or colors. </p>
<p>Optically enhanced exterior paint in Bright Silver coats the 
  Sunfire Autocross. This paint is developed by Color Design Studio 
  of America and produced by Sherwin Williams.</p>
