AKLGT Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 ya, they just released the info for the turbo solstice and saturn sky. not bad priced at all. i'm thinking that may be my next solo II car. Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle yeah!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rao Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Very neat, but they lost me when they did the carbon fiber body panels - that is not something that a typical hot rodder would do. The cost/benefit makes no sense. Using an LS7 is pretty off the wall too, you have $16k in the engine alone when you could get a LS1 or LS2 for around $3k and be pretty close in output. The idea of a LSx engine in a Solstice/Sky is pretty interesting though.... Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I'd be interested in one if a reputable tuner offered a turn-key solution with OEM integration for a fair price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChruiSSer Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I was reading on those forums, and there is some shop putting the LS2 w/ T-56 and offering a 2 year warranty. It's something like $30,000 PLUS the car... It's on my list along with the ls1 powered s2000, and miata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
