Not sure if many of you have seen the new Solstice, probably most have atlest seen a pic of one.
Tha is a bad ass little roadster if you ask me, 2.4 177 HP VVT ecotec, RWD 5 speed manual and a curb weight around 2800 pounds, and starting price right at 20 grand.
A near 50/50 weight distribution and .90 on the skid pad, mad that would be a fun ride.
I have been checking it out on the pontiac website, and am thinking im may have to sell the cavy to get one of these.
Imagine a stage 2 turbo setup running around 300 HP AT THE REAR WHEELS and being able to hang the ass end out there where ever and whenever you wanted, i think this is really going to allow the ecotec top shine even more.
As soon as i can find a local dealer with one, im going for a test drive.

Well have fun tryin' to put that under the hood. I've taken in 4 of them and I like them a lot, but in no way is it an every day car. I'm thinkin' you are going to have to wait till the 2nd bach of them are out cause the first was only a 1000 of the first made. We have to also fix the doors of one we have found GM tried to fix it after we find primer under the paint on the door. I would hold off for a little bit before buyin' one. Here are some pic's of a few of the ones we got of the first 1000 in.
Chicky here...

If a v8 can fit, I'm sure he can fit a turbo setup in there...
anyone catch the article in last month's issue of SCC that said there is a prototype running around with an ls2 in it?
