BS. The SKY is VERY LIMITED and I highly doubt you're roommate could hook them up that much. What dealer does your friend work at?

This is one big joke right?

My vote is for the Solstice/Sky. We actually ran an article on these two cars as well as the Mallet LS2 powered versions in the most recent issue of the magazine. Awesome little roadsters out of Detroit.

About how much does it cost to do the ls2 conversion in one? Or to buy one from that company in the pic above?

Honda makes a few decent cars, but

LS2 powered Sky FTW!

Well, it would only be responsible of me to say that if you download the latest issue of the magazine (Which is free) you can read the entire article about the Mallet LS2 conversions. Download the Latest Issue of Down Shift Magazine Here

However, long story, $20K + the price of the car. Here is a Link to a PDF with their full product lineup With a MSRP of $19,995 you are looking at a $40K investment, however when you consider what a C6 costs and what you are getting for that $40K its actually rather tempting. I'm not a fan of American cars but these are actually some of my new favorites. Personally, I would opt for the Sky particularly considering it is now being rebadged as the Opel Speedster.
