GM Racing to feature a new tandem team for 06'

[XtremeSaturn]

Anyone hear the news that GM racing is going to drop the GTO for a tandem team of a Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice?










Well I didn't either but I e-mailed the marketing manager telling them they should :-)

Saturn ? Here goes the sport..... I thought it was getting bad when a Mustang stepped onto the field.

[hachibill]

aren't they all FWD?

[Matt Vassallo]

no they are MR kind of like elises

[Charles]

Sounds cool but that GTO looks good out there from the few clips I've seen of it.... I say run both :D

[evlonedb]

i wish they had the crossfire without the roof in the comps.

[XtremeSaturn]

RWD so it wouldn't be too bad and they look a hell of a lot better than the GTO. Have you guys seen what it looks like?

[Funk]

Vauxhall VX220, Lotus Elise, and the Saturn Sky are basically the same car.

I think using domestic cars is actually a good thing for the sport in the U.S. Doing things exactly like they do in Japan would be boring, it's good that we're making it our own by adding our home-brewed cars. If anything, adding domestic cars like the Mustang, GTO and Vipers helps attract different demographics to the sport and make it less looked down on by the rest of the country.

Good 'ol boys who would previously have zero interest in watching drift, all of a sudden see cars that they drive or would LIKE to drive and start watching it...going to the events, buying the products and thus allowing the sport to grow more and more. I was honestly hoping to see Corvettes and Camaros in Formula D by now, but we'll see what next year has to offer.

i personally don't want good ol boys anywhere near drifting.

[Graves]

Sounds like some people are scared of a domestic or two . . . .

[Silvia_San]

no just the hick crowd that usually goes along with them.

You didn't seriously think GTO's were FWD did you?


It's basically a Corvette with a different chassis.
