opinions of this car

[dohcfiend]

i gotta know, am i the only one that thinks the pontiac solstice is fucking sweet??

2890 lbs, rwd and a tad over 20k. 20080 msrp i believe. i usually hate most of gm's new cars but this one is an exception.

power isn't all that 177hp i believe but i hear rumors some1 has already slipped a ls1 into one.

although the 2k7 year will be the introduction of the gxp model featuring a turbocharged i4 putting out 260hp and 260 ftlb!!! get this all under 5500 rpm!!! gm is boasting 0-60 in under 5.5 seconds. those were corvette numbers back in the day!!!

the whole package with all the added options only adds about 100 pounds to the base car. i just hope the pricing is fair.


questions: how does the gxp model compare to the srt4 weight wise? any1 have any idea how these things are selling??

SRT-4's are listed at a curb weight of 2900lbs.

If I were you I would not even try to compare the Solstice to a an SRT-4. Because it is a POS. Glorified Neon.

someone has a big mouth

the srt-4's can kick most of our asses all day long without breaking a sweat





i would love to have a saturn sky, the solstice is to round for me, the sky reminds me of the vauxhaul roadster *drool*

I guess, but I'm not going to loose any sleep over it. But that doesn't change that is a POS. Maybe it is just me but when ever I see one of those things I just laugh.

I'd take my "slower" GTP over that peice any day.

You mean other than the fact that an SRT4 is still a neon?

[Lyle's GTP]

It's still a Neon. I don't understand why people get all crazy over cars like this. All they do is bolt a Turbo/Blower on it and now it's a high preformance icon. Fuck, bolt one on my car. I guess that would make it the new coveted high preformance machine.

If it were something that were designed from the ground up to be a preformance machine. Then maybe I care, and will turn my head. But suping up a Neon to market to dumbass high school kids, doesn't earn my respect.

also have any of you seen the weekend racer concept solstice with the removable hardtop?

[bu01]

i would rather have the sky

If it didn't say Solstice, I'd swear it was any other Jap, (no offence to anyone), car being built today.

I'll keep the long legged Cutlass.

[tijuana_no]

I THINK THE CAR IS SWEET,I HAS MORE OF A EUROPIAN LOOK THAN JAP.
I WOULD GET ONE,BUT I AM ONE THE MIDDLE OF CHANCHING JOBS AND INVESTING ON A BUSS. BUILDING(TIEING UP MY MONEY).THE MALLETT LOOKS GOOD AT 400 HP.I WOULD BE ABLE TO RUN ALL OVER THOSE JAP.CARS ON MY AREA.
