I stopped to look at a few used just for a toy and they are still getting top dollar in my neck of the woods for an unmolested version.
that would be the solstice GXP and Sky redline you are talking about and yes, they did drop a turbocharged 2.0 litre engine into them which was being used in the Cobalt SS before that....those motors are no joke when they are tuned, im talking about 300hp to the wheels with a good tune and supporting mods.

Theyre pretty quick stock too. They will scoot through the 1/4 in mid 13's.

We looked at a new Sky Redline before buying the Z. Car was fun but seriously lacking on the interior. The car was comparable to the Z stock for stock but the inside as opposed to cost I could not get past. The Z was cheaper and nicer all the way around.
