  • Ecotec Solstice not enough power for you?

    Seriously, this is insane! Turbocharger is an option, but I don't see how it'd fit. Supercharger option too!!

      I think if they make this based on the Saturn Sky, I'm in deep trouble. That kind of power in a small, light chassis ........as much as I hate to spend money, stick a fork in me, I'll be taking a trip down finance lane.

        I'd have to admit, if they do Sky's, I might have to sell my 3 current vehicles and buy one. The Sky is much better looking than the Solstice, IMHO.

          I'd have to change my pants if I saw an LS2 Sky out on the road.

          I'll bet that kills the 50/50 weight distribution, though...ah well, not like you're probably intending to make it into a track car by shoving a 400-hp V8 down it's throat

            Not insane......fun!! The Solstice curb weight is listed at 2860 lbs. That makes for a decent increase power to weight ratio. It would be roughly equivalent to 490 HP in a 3500 lb f-body.
