Too Beautiful Not to Share: Pontiac Solstice GXP Coupe Content

Yes, the Hot Rod LS7 Solstice was awesome. I still have all the mags detailing the build. I heard through the grapevine that the car was crushed, but hopefully that's not true.

 

That would make me almost want to cry if that car got crushed. It is such a bad ass car. I cant recall how much those cars weigh but with that much power and that little of a car all I can say is wow. It would defently pucker up my butt hole trying to keep it on the road. I sware I saw a video of it going like 9's at the track on street tires but I havent been able to find it.

~2850-ish to 3100 lbs. The 2.4L's were lighter, and both the V8 conversions and the turbo models come in around 3100 lbs. The Hot Rod Solstice had all carbon fiber body panels, so it was lighter.

 

In reference to that Mallett 427 turbo, that much power with such a short wheelbase could make for a crazy ride. There were a lot of pics floating around at one time of that car getting built.

This car is pretty much done. I think the dyno numbers are pretty weak for the extent of the engine build, but they claim that their dyno reads low (saying the last C6 Z06 on there put down 414 whp).

Stripes were added, but no final pics of the complete car:
