Answer 1

No it sounds as if you need a driving lesson.

Answer 2

In america that engine is 2.0 liter and supercharged over 200 BHP. At bonneville salt flats Chevy is trying for 230 miles an hour using a turbo/supercharged Ecotech 2.0 bored to 2.5 running almost 75 psi boost and running on Ethanol in a Chevorlet Colbalt body car. That engine is said to make almost 750 hp. Good little engine but not much you can do if it fails but replace the whole thing.
