look what my GP becomes into. Is a Solstice 2006 with 3000 miles!!!
I'm picking it in a couple of hours.

I am so jealous!

Welcome back!

SWEET im also jealous those cars are awsome

What are your feedback on this cars??

The Solstice IIRC is kind of a hodge-podge of all sorts of GM chassis and parts.

This means that if anything ever breaks, it will be pretty easy to get a (cheap) replacement.

The style is attractive, the motors are peppy, and the trannys are solid. All in all, one of the finest vehicles new vehicles to roll out of the plants.

...

You know you can drop a V8 in those right?

must be nice to have money

Nice.

Now if you can avoid the bumps and bruises that the GP took.

verry nice !!!!

Im jealous.

That's nice. I see this car every day because my co-worker own that car. She got it last year. Now, it is sh!t. She never wash it. Lot of nasty brake dust on wheels and some door dent. What a shame. It is painful to see that every day.

Nice looking car, Alex.

Thanks. It slept in my garage last night. Is a very nice car, different to drive, since the suspension is very tight and the roof is a little noisy when is up, bumpy roads reminded me when some friends cut a lot their springs and their cars bounce a lot. Let's see how this Pontiac behaves.

needs a turbo.

I imagine it isn't a very tough swap to make. I'm sure there have been a few totaled GXPs.

nice grab, Alex! Welcome back to the Arrow Head! What color is yours?

305 swap FTW!!!

That black one in the pic is actually mine.

Why no GXP?

lol... a 305 wouldn't be in my top 25 engines to put in it.

wow, Alex. Good find. Love that black, even with the top on. Lemme guess, you gonna cruise the hell outta that thing with the wife in it and the car goin top-less, huh? I would.

Nice but why no GXP, Im pretty sure there are some low mileage GXP's within your price range.

There are no GXP here in Mexico, in 2009 they were going to bring it, but nothing.

Thanks Richard!! yes we'll try to go out a little bit more, top-less

Do it...


Turbo 427ci LS7, 6-speed Tremec trans, and 750 horses to play with

I wonder what the 0-60 is and how long that really light car takes to finally come back down from speed.

I'm more than willing to bet that engine will eat that trans alive. Even in such a light car.

doubt it. Tremec is THE name in trannies.

OH! Corey: why not the SBC 305? Lightweight, hellacious power, bulletproof and proven. Only other engines aside from the 305 would be 327, 350, 383, 400 SBC, 400 BBC, 427, 454, 502, 509. From that list, go ahead and eliminate the 454, 502, and 509. I, personally, would not of put any BBC in there, but they did make the 427 work. BUT, remove the other two BBCs. That then leaves 305, 327, and the 350. Of those, I would want to leave space in the bay available for me to work around in, so I would then use the 305. Diff folks and all that, ya know?

Tremecs don't like to handle that much horsepower. And aside from being good they break quite a bit. Nothing beats a Richmond TKO. Nothing.

dude 3.8 turbo swap lol with a g6 6 speed GNARLY

Its RWD Karlos.

soo camaraos have rwd and 3.8's ....its doable!

indeed. but the g6 trans wont work.

o i seee....

Nice car Alex, a definite upgrade from the GP.

Bet on par with/better then the original 427 lightweight roadster the venerable AC Cobra.

LOL that would be the last modern SBC I'd use. Your very limited on how much power it'll make without adding forced induction.

For the cost of the motor and go fast goodies you might as well go with a 383 if your gonna do a SBC.

But for a lightweight DD I'd prefer the 327. Way too many 350/383s out there.

Thanks man!

you should get a gxp solstice lol

that would be awesome

you dont wnt to be the palsut of the solstice worl do ya? with the tiny engine compaired to the manly engines lol

jk palsut

You know, with the GP i always was desiring a GTP and more power, but with this car is different, with the top down really i don't care about speed, is a real nice ride to enjoy at medium and slow speeds.

And as a friend told me "You're getting older...and boring... "
