Have you seen what GM is cooking?


The all-new 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP will arrive in dealerships in the Fall of 2006 powered by a turbocharged variant of the 2.0L ECOTEC. The engine also utilizes direct-injection for an impressive 260 hp and 260 lb.-ft. of torque.



for more views and info.

They claim pricing equivalent to the mustang

sounds like the same powertrain set up that is in the current GTO

Linky no worky for the Camaro, it takes you straight to the R&T default page.
It was posted on ClubGP, and the guy that posted it said it was due to unveil on Monday. I saw the page, it had a nice little video to go along with it.
I wonder if someone over at R&T screwed up and posted it early, then realized their mistake and took it down.

The Solstice is impressive for the engine. I do have a complaint. Is Pontiac going to start putting the 'GXP' on most Pontiac cars as Chevy did for the 'SS'???

That Camaro is drop dead gorgeous! I really like.

the new Camaro concept is everything the GTO is but with potent style...of course as long as Mr Lutz is around we'll never see the Firebird variant...maybe a new skin on the GTO, but no blazing bird (I really wonder why he dislikes the car so much)...I suppose it was a smart move on GM's part to only deliver 700 or so of the new Solstice (even thought they had 1500 preorders) if they knew they had this more potent model waiting in the wings...260 ponies should really wake the car up...btw, did anyone catch the Mallett 400hp V8 conversion Solstice in this months Car and Driver? (woof!)

Not loving the interior of the Camaro so much... but I could deffinately get used to it, only because it looks so cool on the outside. I love the wheels.

I was still in the middle of waking up this morning when they were broadcasting live from the show. As soon as they mentioned the Camaro Concept, I woke up and sat wide awake.
