Mallett conversion experts have enhanced its already potent V8-powered Pontiac Solstice with this limited edition widebody pack. Having already shoved the Corvette’s 400hp LS2 V8 engine into the tiny Solstice Roadster, Mallett then needed a suitable styling package to differentiate its version from the standard four-cylinder versions.
In steps the Pitbull Edition bodykit. Set to debut at this year’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the new six-piece fiberglass kit widens the standard car by four inches up front and by five in the back. The extra girth allows owners to add ultra-wide wheels and tires as well as give the car a much tougher look. The larger air-intakes up front also improve airflow to the engine, while the increased traction of wider tires provides superior grip especially at the drag-strip.
For its V8 conversion, it wasn’t simply a matter of shoehorning the big-cube engine into the roadster and then calling it a day. Mallett has conducted extensive track and street testing and the car features stock OEM catalytic converters and meets US emission regulations. Only a limited number of Pitbull cars will be built at an estimated price of $16,000-18,000 fully installed and painted. A carbon fiber version will also be available.

A more accurate observation has never been typed. These should be the starting points before any serious performance modification. What's the point of making a serious performer if you can't control it's power?
i dont know why but i actually dont like the widebody
im not sure why, im sure i would love it in person
Thats awesome!!! I do think id like a Sky done up in a similar way better though.

From the front the hood kills it!!! other than the hood car looks great!! Just need to drop the V8 for the 2.4 Ecotec with Hahn stage 3 kit!!

Straight up cowl hood would be SO much better.

this is one of those times when i wish it was legal to sell one of my organs............
I've liked both the Solstice and Sky a LOT since they were both revealed as concepts.
That... however, doesn't strike me the right way... I really love the look of the Solstice, and that looks like they're gilding the lily a little.
It'll probably grow on me, but I'm not liking it very much right now.
