CJ Thunder 11-01-2005, 06:43 AM Thats how Pontiac should of started, that looks better then those BMW roadsters...thats, thats just an amazing car.
EDIT: It Costs around 53,000 with all parts and labor. Anyone know how much a fully loaded Z4 is?
CoBIZZLE 11-01-2005, 11:46 AM That is pretty sweet! I wonder how bad the weight ratio is though?!

Well the engine is aluminum so the power to weight should be nuts!!....
Drool...... :eek: :eek:
XeroState 11-01-2005, 03:27 PM 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.
CoBIZZLE 11-01-2005, 03:53 PM no I mean the weight ratio from front to rear... not power to weight ratio my bad

That's kinda retarded. They were supposed to do the Soltice AND the Sky. There we go gettin screwed for being saturns again.

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. :)
CoBIZZLE 11-02-2005, 10:07 PM They can do Saturns.. I seen it just the other day, but Im too lazy to look it up now but I know I saw it.......
chevycobaltowner 11-08-2005, 12:36 PM Sweet. Looks good.
CoBIZZLE 11-08-2005, 11:14 PM Saturn Sky to be included (http://www.mallettcars.com/news-5-26-05-v8solstice.htm)

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.
