Isn't there a Saturn Sky with that same engine in it too? I am sure I read a post on either this site or the RL one about these. Cool to see that they actually exist though.

Honestly, I am sure they will come out and do one for the Sky. Hell, it could already be in 'the works' right now. They just did the Solstice first. Wasn't the Pontiac first to be released? Sorry, I don't know the release dates. :)

There was a similar post about this on the Redline forums and from what I read, the weight ratio was almost 50/50 w/ the 4 banger, and that the LS2 gave it perfect 50/50 distribution.

REALLY?!?!? Hmm?? Well then that would be awesome!! Only thing left to consider would be legroom and headroom.... Im 6'2"! Wonder if I'd fit?! LOL

Oh yeah I saw that one yellow Solstice from SEMA that had the convertible hard-top... are the Solstices/Skys gonna have a convertible hard-top as an option or was that just a one-off?!?!

Yeah that's the article that I was going by. I figured if they were going to do one for SEMA, that they would get both done, so potential buyers of both would be intrigued. Maybe that's just my business thinking, and not thiers.
