Anyone looking at the Sol GXP/Sky Redline?
I'm going to go checkout a nonGXP next month and see if I like it.
Perhaps put a downpayment on a GXP.
I'm just excited that someones finally making RWD Turbos again, even if its only a 2.0.
Not huge on the Solstice frontend, hopefully the mounting brackets are the same as the Sky as I'd like to swap the Sky's frontend onto it. I'm not paying an extra $4-5k for the crap the Saturn comes with.
Just curious if anyone else was interested in these cars.
Not too excited to purchase a new GM product.. But I don't keep cars for long anyhow. My 3's on, oh, 4 months now.
Anyone who doesn't know, the GXP is the Pontiac Solstice w/ SIDI Ecotec motor, + turbo, RWD, 260bhp, 260rpm @ 5200 or so. As anyone whose tuned forced induction cars should know, 260tq @ 5200 on a turbo.. ha. Talk about being undertuned.
Hopefully this thing is as efficient w/power as we think it'll be.

The base model is underpowered, turbo model should address that problem. The trunk is big enough for one pair of shoes and nothing more. Raising and lowering the top isn't the most clever setup I've seen.

wow, that thing almost looks like an s2000 from the side like that. im assuming it wont come with those rims from the dealer, but that car looks pretty sweet. if i had good enough credit (still too young) then id definitely buy one of those.
