  • An LS7 boosted the right way. It simply does not get more badass than that.

  • got damn sounds good.

  • sounds like a god damn jet

  • that will brake for shelby

  • Guy in my neighborhood has one of these. For the most part it was stock looking except for the exhaust in the rear and a "mallet" badge on it. Got home and looked up the numbers, good god...

  • i cant believe the posts on here,there's a TON OF INCREDIBLY STUPID PEOPLE ON HERE?why dont you drift?hammer the gas,is it a four banger,are they all inbred fucks or what?

    its a new built ls7 TURBO CAR,ITS NEWLY BUILT DUMBASS,you dont fucking drift OR OVER REV a non broken in very expensive non owned customers car that was just built RETARDS.its not even broken in,AND ITS DEFINITELY A V8 DIMWITS

  • wow normynoless you realy think a 4 banger can sound that beefy then there is something realy wrong with you i have owned 4 bangers my whole life and never heard one sound like this obviosly a v8

  • @TheBigdickwill I will take your full post on. I watched it all again. I hear a "throatier" tone closer to the camera and microphone. While I do not expect straight pipes, If one is going for a record, I expect to hear something. I heard a lil' whine. I heard that same whine on my '92 Sunchicken... Link us to a drag race, or even better, a rally race....

  • @normynoless well you know what watch it again and listen real carefully from 0:35 to the end and that is a V8 an LS model V8 and 0;44 to the end is what a cammed camaro sounds like down shifting and what the hell does rally acing got to do with this you high or something

  • @normynoless and look at the other videos of there paticular cars with the LS7 engine swaps

  • @normynoless YOUR A RETADED ASSHAT,LINK ME TO ANY SUNBIRD ON THE PLANET THAT SOUNDS LIKE THAT,YOUR A FUCKHEAD?

  • wow normynoless you realy think a 4 banger can sound that beefy then there is something realy wrong with you i have owned 4 bangers my whole life and never heard one sound like this

  • Nice!!!

  • The regular Solstice with the turbo 4 is a quick little car with a turbocharged LS7...I don't think you can fit a tire big enough to hold the ground...must be a monster...

  • Not true normnoless it was an LS7 turbocharged. Honest! This was a customer car and we were doing calibrations when filmed. We were not allowed to beat on the cars, on film that is....

  • Yeah, factory four with a turbo... Maybe. Not even close to a v8 sound.

  • @normynoless The was a v8 you clown

  • @normynoless i cant stop.your stupidity is TREMENDOUSLY APPALLING,your either deaf or youve got cocks in every orifice in your body.or your 6,in that case tell your mom i told you to STAY THE FUCK OFF THE COMPUTER.

  • @utooberblooper Smell that? usually It's call sarcasm. But maybe you couldn't over the smell of your nasty cunt and the rags you leave laying around jackass! Fuck you and your personal attack on me you cuntrag! If ignorance is bliss, you're hanging with the fairies...

  • Guys, Guys, you DO NOT "hammer" a new engine, especially a turbocharged one...

  • i guess hes never heard of down shifting

  • I wanna see that thing DRIFT!!

  • shouldve put it in the coupe version

  • Love the LS7, HATE that bumper :(

  • Hammer that thing you puss

  • @mikesanto70

    bro...its a pontiac, he does that then it falls apart.

  • Hell Yeah, thats nice man. Lets see it in action.

  • Nice car, very nice. However I will take a Fiero over it, just because I like the whole mid engine sports car thing. These Solstice's are neat cars though, one of the best cars Pontiac made in almost 20 years.

  • Give me a break, i have more fun in my work van compared to the way this idiot drives

  • @svlion1977 my neighbor turned his work van over yesterday........ in the back yard ...........but he likes tha white liquor and cacaine

  • @HaamSammich doesnt everybody =D

  • @svlion1977 true

  • Thats too munch power for that little car. I bet that thing would damn near fly off the road under full throttle lol.

  • @thabiznizz There's no such thing as too much power! lol there is such a thing as not enough driver. Love to have a V8 Solstice but I don't know if I could handle her.

  • INteresting, I live right down lindbergh. That place is at the end of my street...a ton of vettes are over at that place am I correct?

  • extremely gay...

  • @born2makk2007 Hardly. You can do a lot with this car, being only a tiny 4 cylinder. I've see people drop Vette engines in them as well which is an expensive upgrade but insane to see on the road.

  • That's some boring shit. The train in the background was more interesting as I prayed for it to derail so that the video might be in some way exciting.

  • @ksnax

    Make your own video carybaby

  • @bbb462cid lol crybaby

  • Yup, still boring . .

  • ok since i didnt see any action..... dislike.

  • sounds really good too bad it was driven by a girl

  • this vid put me right out... i woke up to the spool of a turbo... but soon went back to sleep...

  • sound slike an airplane lol.

  • pussy's not drifting it lol jk

    nice car all around

  • I don't understand?...that little car wouldn't know what to do with an ls7 engine? the traction control would just be fucking confused constantly!!!....NO Way To Put ThAt PoWeR dOWn, even with fat sticky tires!

  • Sounds B.A.

  • okay so you added a bov and a turbo whistle?

  • @renizer along with a v8 where there used to be a little 4 popper

  • @renizer its not a fake turbo whistle, thats the actual sound of the turbo...

  • makes u wonder if its just a sound file pasted on this vid.

  • @b00ste Naw its da real thing, because as well all know ponitac & chevy basically run the same type of engines, and in some cases have the same exact body style on certain cars like the (G5 Pontiac and the Colbalt Chevy) plus this car has the right drivetrain layout for a FR engine swap anyways, & with the roadster style front end Im sure a V8 can fit almost effortlessly, the most he may have needed to do is get a shorter driveshaft which is easy enuff, so its not 2 far fetched 2 have this swap.

  • Hot Rod magazine featured an article with just that; I don't remember if it was a skunkworks car or if they did it themselves, but it packed the real 'Vette engine which just barely fit.

    That's gotta be scary fast.

  • I just found a video of that same car. Look up "LS7 (427ci) Pontiac Solstice"

  • @moparmonster1965 Oh yeah, I just watch it, was it a red one? cause if we talkin bout da same one, then dat thang a beast! str8 up!

  • Yep, that's the one. We've gotta be talking 0-60 times in the four second range and quarter mile in somewhere around 11 seconds, given the car's power-to-weight ratio.

    The only downside would be that the stock handling would be destroyed by the extra weight up front. It would wallow in the turns, be very front heavy, and would dive on sudden braking, but when you're that fast, it won't matter much.

  • @moparmonster1965 Nope that aluminum block ls7 weighs less than the castiron block that was in it.

  • Are you sure about that? I'm having a hard time believing it.

  • @moparmonster1965 might be a bit heavier, but the ls7 is a pretty darn light weight engine, especially for the power it produces

    the ls7 weighs about 475 n/a, the echotech is somewhere around 300 pounds n/a.

    100 pounds or so shedded/relocated off the front end and the balance should be about spot on

  • Okay, I could believe those numbers, but to say that the fully-loaded LS7 is lighter than a four popper makes me wonder.

    My cast iron 340 is in the neighborhood of 500-525 lbs fully loaded, but I've never weighed it. In my 2,900 lb Dart, it'll be able to get out of its own way, but not like an aluminum engine could.

  • @moparmonster1965 yeah an aluminum v8 is somewhere around 150-200 pounds lighter, then a standard big block,but really its not worth the cost in most cars, if its a modern light sports car and you have the extra cash an lS is the way to go, but an iron v8 will do.

    i wouldn't want to use a gm v12, or a diesel by any means although :P

  • I assume all of the LS7 conversions were high dollar you-supply-the-parts-and-we-do­-the-work sort of things, right?

    I can't imagine a good, complete 'Vette engine would be too cheap and I know that I'd be out of my element trying to put this sort of thing together.

  • @moparmonster1965 some of them are done by big companies, but you can buy harnesses and programmers for them to do it yourself, from what ive heard if your doing one ls swap, its better to get it done by someone else, if you do 3+ it pays for itself.

    myself i would go for the newer gen 3/4 vortec, they are darn near identical to an ls, just tuned more for low rpm torque and iron block

  • When the horse power wars were heating back up, all we had were 2.2 turbo engined FWD cars. The Magnum engines were good, but they were just updated LA engines.

    What a sad end to a once-great company.

  • Okay, you answered my next question already.

    I'm a die-hard Chrysler guy, but I'm so very disappointed in the company; they have made so many mistakes and put out so much crap that I'm feeling forced to go elsewhere nowadays. I really like the Solstice and plan to buy one in another year or so, once they've depreciated enough. The only thing Chrysler ever gave us like that was the crummy Crossfire, a 215 horse power reskinned SLK.

  • @moparmonster1965

    They made a really good concept car though, The Chrysler ME Four Twelve, and i tell you, if they sold them it would go like hot cakes (despite being based on a Mercedes platform).

  • As far as I know, that car never even reached the concept stage beyond computer models.

    As far as a car like that being sold to the public, if the Veyron goes for somewhere north of a million dollars, it would be in the same ballpark, making the Viper look like a downright bargain.

  • @moparmonster1965

    the vortec engines are very common and can be pretty darn cheap

  • pussy...

  • Hey guys lets put a LS7 in a Solstice so we can drive the speed limit, use more gas than before, and keep tread on our tires. Put the damn pedal down!

  • I read on CNN's website about a month ago that DELOREAN is talking about bringing back the Solstice! Honestly, and it looks pretty cool, not too many drastic changes from the original. Supposed to be next year or 2012. I have the a dark grey convertible Solstice and LOVE IT! I will never get rid of it. The sweetest ride I've even experienced. Really, really sweet.

  • you can hear the charger in it really distinctly, it's almost louder than the engine

  • its like you took the sound from the z06 turbo and layed a vic of the solstice over it, sound nasty, and unexpected

  • What would be the benefit of a single turbo on a V8?

  • @v12tommy i believe the answer would be more power

  • @dankebuddha why not twin turbos? Twin turbos on a V8 greatly reduce plumbing, which makes packaging easier as well as look better. Plus using 2 smaller turbos would result in less turbo lag. Seeing a single turbo V8 is rare, as most are twin turbocharged if they are turbocharged at all.

  • @v12tommy depends on what your gonna do with it twin is better for driveablity but you want power i single big turbo is always better

  • @dankebuddha I think you are referring to twin sequential turbos in your theory. I was referring to parallel turbos...one for each bank. You can get the exact same power out of two smaller turbos that you get out of 1 larger one. Not to mention you can't boost an LS7 a whole lot anyways because the cylinder walls are not very thick for that type of application. They would need to switch to an LSX iron block if they wanted to crank up the boost.

  • @v12tommy no i get what your saying but you'll get more boos for a 101 mm turbo then 2 50mm but you'll have turbo lag if your building a car purely for power for a drag then single is better but as far as a ls 7 ya those dont like boost and the lsx blocks are built specifically for boost

  • Nice video of you doing nothing asshole

  • well that makes the car a little less gay to drive. solstice is the new miata

  • @fishtaco2007 it aspires to be miata, but fails so perfectly

  • @mentor2506 it beats the miata in every category except a straight line stock it's better then a miata

  • @dankebuddha Car and Driver agrees that it's inferior to the miata. The handling is better in miata, but if you like the ratios, by all means enjoy the car.

  • @mentor2506 idc what car and driver says they are so biased against American cars it aint funny i'll trust the numbers before i'll trust cnd and the only thing i hate about the solstice it the drive by wire not enough feel in it but it's still faster then the miata and has more room it then the miata and if i wanted too i could even drop in a v8 into the solstice it is the better car and cost less

  • mallett cars

  • Cool car but not my choice of colors.

  • @MKIIsleeper yea... thats a cop magnet.

  • What a fucking faggot...put your foot down pussy

  • dude 0:24 it doesn't even look like the tires are spinning

  • at least do some drifting on harpin

  • chose a bad location to film that

  • The new Camaro V6 would have been perfect for this car

  • I have ridden in a pontiac solstice and thought it was fast!holy shit is all i can say

  • I bet that bitch would bake a tire faster than betty crocker!

  • @tza420 considering Betty Crocker doesn't bake tires, yes. lol

  • thats pretty cool man. that things prob realllllll quick. i heard that you cant really have the boost that high on the ls7 cause the cylinder walls aren't thick enough or somthing like that.

  • put your foot down little bitch...

  • @tomarto11 not enough road i would imagine plus its awful rude to call someone a bitch

  • @thatoneguyjosh man up little bitch, and there is plenty of room to oput your foot down...

  • @tomarto11 lol i pity you , your obviously a very angry troubled person

  • @thatoneguyjosh ha ha, lm a Aussie male, what do you expect. my balls hang low and are covered in hair, you little pussy!

  • @tomarto11 you should shave that shit thats nasty dude

  • @tomarto11 lmao thats the problem he did put his foot down just not on the loud pedal

  • @tomarto11 haha i was thinking the same thing

  • @tomarto11 its a chevy of course he had his foot down.

  • @tomarto11 yeah that pedal is there to break laws. so fuckin break some damn laws

  • Is solstic 2006 comes front wheel or rear wheel drive?

  • @JeetMaan it comes in Rear Wheel drive

  • how people drive in snow, If comes rear wheel drive

  • @JeetMaan well three things 1)you can pump ur car..like step on and off the drakes as you drive, kinda tricky 2) put chains on your tires...could ruin the under cariage. 3) either get a truck or not drive at all....lolz

  • @JeetMaan your a dumbass if you cant drive in snow with any vehicle. You lower 48 fuckin pussies shut down schools and shit when it snows biggest vaginas EVER

  • Hey, man, we're not all tools. I live in the beautiful appalachian mountains of west virginia (morgantown), and we almost never close school or any other business. The vast majority of us know exactly how to drive in the snow, too. You have to when you live on the side of a mountain! I probably engage my jeep's 4wd once or twice a year because I have to to get around. The other 5000 times are cause I'm wheeling!

  • @thefatdic us good ol boys drink moonshine and drive over everyfuckin thing, in anything!

  • RWD

  • its RWD im not even sure that motor can fit transversely

  • all solstice's are rwd

  • yup, a good size car to but a ls7.

  • look up lotafunturbo

  • "bike killer" LMFAO!

    Yer gonna need more than that. Bwahahahahahaha

    Because every bike owner leaves it stock........would never put a turbo on one......

  • Comment removed

  • wow now thats one little roadster i would not want to fuck with,thats a bike killer right there.

  • would love to learn to do this swap. I heard that it doesn't take much other than a couple of changes, is that true?

    any information would be appreciated thanks.

  • You would need the LS7 , A new transmission , a stronger rear-end, re-enforce the frame rails, and a new driveshaft. Plus a few other things. Never done one myself but would love to.

  • That is the most attractive sounding exhaust sound I have ever heard.

  • mann i thought no one would ever drop the ls7 in the solstice....well finnally someone has lol

  • What? Hotrod magazine dropped a LS7 in a Solstice like the instant the Solstice came out, maybe even before they actually came to the market.

  • a ls7 is the motor out of the corvette ZO6 its a 427, about 505 horse...

  • To bad thats not an option although with that motor suspension going to need help. There was a LS7 miata at talledega a few months back Competing with a TTZ06 and FP-GTR

  • deffs a V8 exhaust note gives it away

  • do you know what an ls7 is?

  • The Largest, Most Powerful Small-Block Ever Built?

  • u call that a test drive.. damn dealers dont want u to drive it no more than a mile  SOUNDS GOOD

  • what?

  • Well...it 'sounds' like it could have more power than the 2.0L...just doesn't look like it.

  • Thats a pretty loud spool for a single.. nice..! And to think that before i saw this, I thought these cars are ugly...lol... i still thing so.. this ones nice tho

  • tvr ripoff

  • listen to the exhaust note u dipshit .

  • Oh BS. Why does the video description go into all kinds of detail about it being a Mallett V8 conversion, plus the exhaust note sounds 100% like a big ass v8 at low revs. Ridiculous.

  • wow are you stupid then what does it have

  • LS7.... it kinda says so

  • Sure sounds like a V8 man.

  • I can hear the drivers nose whistling !

  • excuses man excuses I will be glad to show you how to drive that car just pay for my expenses to fly up their

  • that car has 900hp, where they were driving would not be a safe place to let the turbo spool up on a 7.0 liter V8 in car with a short wheelbase

  • sounds like a perfectly tuned turbo to me.

  • Nice work. You make me proud to own a Pontiac!!

  • this is how they should have made the solstice and sky from the factory lol, badass

  • agreed, or at least make it an option!

  • LOL @ kinggsalas... yeah it probably does...

  • i think hes trying to show the turbo whistle and if he were to get on it much more it would be too high pitch to hear that well

  • Are you kidding, turbos spool loud and proud. Listen to any turbo vid on here and tell me you can't hear it spool. Its not a centrifugal blower.

  • go listen to a 6L f250 spool it is loudest around mid boost then it gets really high pitched and and exhaust noise starts to overpower it.

  • good thing we were talking about diesels. I thought this car was gas. Just another youtube noob here.

  • ya ur right u are...it is gas, we know that...im just giving him an example of a motor that has a big turbo which you can clearly hear how it operates.

  • sounds like a fucking jet engine when it was rolling by lol

  • sounds like a plane

  • so does it fly?

  • Is that Depot Street?

  • Still is pretty fucking cool though...

  • That is a fucking shit load of hp for such a small call... can it even use it effectively??? I don't see that thing hooking up a all with 800+hp!

  • engine V8

  • no replacement for displacement.... bigger = better... sure you can mod a small engine to gain power, but you could also mod the already more powerful BIG engine and youd be way ahead.

  • omfg

    i always said solstices were girl cars

    but id drive this one in heart beat

  • GIRL!!!! jk jk

  • alguien me puede decir que motor trae este pontiac solstice porfa

  • tiene un ls7 que es el motor que viene el vorvette 2006-2008- 7.0 427ci

    ya te imaginaras

  • si ahora que ya me lo dijiste si me lo imagino es batante genial que mal que aqui en la ciudad de mexico no lleguen esas ediciones yo tengo un solstice pero es el single version de 4 cil.

    pero que genial se escucha su motor.

    gracias saludos

  • Dam I heard about ppl putting corvette engines in these little cars. GM should have made a V8 version of this car, with a stiffer suspension = Porsche killer.

  • damn that little thing will move

  • LS7=505hp without the turbo

  • there**

    who is stupid now?

  • best sounding turbo ever, that sound makes every other sports car driver within 10 blocks scared

  • id get it in black but its youre car not mine

    its front strangely doent appeal to me, it looks too chubby.

    this is just my opinion ppl i dont want no hate mail in ma inbox, i drive a pontiac as well so im a fan not a hater so id appreciate if yall be cordial..

  • holy shitballs, this solstice has the Z06 engine?

  • Since when has a turbo sounded identical to a cog driven supercharger?! lolol! The creator hotrod0427 must have had a few screws loose when he typed the title & description.

  • That is a turbo on that car...

  • you realize why he doesn't get on it right? in a car that light, with that much weight up front, and with that short of a wheelbase... you WOULD NOT have traction.

  • turbo=replacement for displacement

  • What do you mean replacement for displacement? This car has a 7.0L engine...you really don't need a turbo.
