Mallett 427 Turbo Solstice

[4godaddygo]

super cool car bro looks like its lost its balance..ie pushing on exit

[PIchillin456]

@4godaddygo makes sense though. There's a lot more weight on that front axle now.

[trb0myk]

im in looooove!

[scamper246]

death :o

[sentineloffreedom]

I don't know why... but I went through like six videos to actually find one of these things that the driver wasn't afraid of the gas pedal... Thank you lol

[CtRacerX]

I'm sure they kep the 3.73 rear ratio!

[bill4488]

I bet if that car had a different gear ratio, it would act a lot differently. Just curious what ratio is in the rear differential.?

[khaledster]

put your foot down lil bitch!!

[b00stedrust]

thing looks like it rides harsh, im assuming u guys had to beef up the suspension quite a bit?

[MrRmjjmr]

I thought a benz C63 AMG was badass.....427 biatch!!!!

[STINKYbongWATER4207]

looks like hard shifts would break your neck. any problems hookin up with such a light weight car?

[MrTTG8]

Wow, thats kind of weak for a 427 with twin turbos. Check out wallsrodcustom Saturn Sky twin turbo. 404 and makes 1147whp in race mode and 938whp for street.

[IrishmenV8]

Powerful V8, little car, a whole shit loads of fun! great job.

[WALL45tech]

The front end looks really unstable.

[mrmatthewpaul]

some how I thought it would be faster. some one put in on a track and let see it run.

[The1SunyD]

that looks like a fun job

[wfangnxd117]

these projects are so cool. Well done - nice work!!

[Dakoder]

damn

[cakes1284]

what is the weight? and the power it makes?

[catman351]

Damn! That sounds awesomely great! At first, I was going to comment: "how the heck are you going to keep that coupe on the ground?" After several of the fly bys, I had my question answered. Good job, Mallett! Now, can you folks build me a twin turbo 427 for my project? LOL!

[AsmodiusMKII]

damn thats beastly, my neighbor down the street has a WS6 427 TT and its INSANE

[joe69rocket]

dyno numbers would be cool and all, but you have to just consider.... solstice + 427 + turbo = vision blurring acceleration! =)

[geemoney3333333]

wtf is the point of a dyno video with no results. I fucken hate that shit.

[Phoenixfire360]

its awesome but why? the solstice was already quick enough

but a tt ls7?!

u gotta be insane?

it weighs next to nothing as is but this will kill almost anything on the road!

[Camaro69z]

Why? Because it can be done. :)

[Phoenixfire360]

true.lol

[NineTailedNarutoFoxB]

damn

[guillermo556]

i dont like v8 spund...

[PrinceValorum]

Money can buy a lot of nice things...

[WorkoutModerator]

confused... he should be spinning out with that setup.... must have been half throttling it...

[SinistrChevy]

probably a turbo timer

[MSL209]

You mean boost controller? :-)

[Isaacs352]

Does any one know how it did on the dyno????

[DouglasR8]

very nice mate!!

[shawnshawn426]

honda boy "its all about the power to weight baby!!"

after viewing this " ......i got vtak yo!" walks off, punches self in face.....lmfao

[isaiah213]

that solstice sound nasty that car can beat a ricer any day

[InfernusEternum]

That sound coming out of that little car is so perfect. I could watch this video all day.

[Breze84]

nice car but boring video

[hmong337]

with all the power now, you're gonna need fender flares with 355's.

nice nice.

[InfernusEternum]

I wonder how much more understeer that heavy motor up front gives you over the stock motor. Don't get me wrong, great idea... but that kind of power in a light car borderlines on rediculous! Is there any kind of variable traction control that comes with it?

[jus199]

why does it not look that fast? can you not get it to hook up? I have a stock C6 Z06 and that sucker moves faster then that.

[InfernusEternum]

Thats probably it... figure "stock" the dry weight of a Solstice is what, 2800 pounds or so? An LS7 (assuming this is an aluminum casting) might add MAYBE 200 pounds. So not much extra weight to hook up with. Still a fun idea though.

[jjs4you2]

They didnt use the stock suspension, Mallett has packages that guarantee these cars handle better than stock! You can get this car with less powerfull GM engines also.

The installation looks as though these cars came right off the factory line! Mallett gives you a 2 year/ 24,000 mile warranty also.

These cars pull over 1g on the skidpad and go through the slalom at 70mph.

By the way, all LS7/427 small blocks are 100% aluminum.....except for the sleeves ;-)

[jjs4you2]

Because for only a micro second on one of the passes did he dip past quarter throttle! when he went past the camera right to left down the street before he turned around, he blipped the throttle but started to spin! listen for it, you could here the turbo spool up!

When they got the tire package on this car they didn't get the uncontrolled 3rd and 4th gear wheel spin at over 100mph!

Check out the Mallett web site, they have some great packages for the Solstice!

[friesngravy]

it's not like it's a big block or anything..LS7s are lighter than alot of V6s actually

[DiscipleoftheWatch37]

fuck me i want one

[wilkinskid1]

im really not trying to be an ass, but isnt this the same idea as the Ultra?  LS7, turbo charged, light weight...only for something like a third of the cost...and this is sexier.

[mtooshort20]

DANG MAN THIS THING JUST GAVE ME A HUUUGGGEE CHILL!!! THAT IS INSANELY SICK!!! u can tell that he's not flooring it, when he gets to the top of 2nd gear on the road, u can hear the tires break traction....INSANE POWER!!!...probably around 700hp in a 2800lb or so roadster??? there is no way he could floor it from 1st or 2nd and maybe not even 3rd!! lol...this is the ultimate project car lol...i want one lol

[red83944]

ls7 and a turbo. way too much for that car to handle even if it had 345's on the back, but still pretty sweet

[ecks78]

hey yo i'm not into domestics per say but this beast has my utter most respect. the power to weight ratio is insane and the dyno run, i mean good god, it sends chills down my spine.

[groundpounder66]

where in the world are you going to put all that power??!!?!?!? HOLY CRAP!!

That is VERY cool!

[rcfreak363]

nice sleeper

[ApexIXMR]

LoL, by the "sound" of it, not a sleeper.

[rcfreak363]

lol just ignore the sound

[hjjfffaa]

how much?

[amjott]

Dear Lord, the sub-frame bracing must be incredible for that tiny thing to handle that kind of power without twisting into a pretzel.

[HotRodPontiac]

Um sry bud no subframe. Its a hydro-formed full steel frame.  Its just like a vette.

[DecadeOfAggression]

Power to weight on that thing has to be insane. Dunno why the hell Pontiac didn't think about offering a V8 option for those from the factory.

[BMWTechnician]

because people would kill them selves, there's probably only a good 4% of the world that can drive good/ok, lol

[DecadeOfAggression]

Good point, haha!

[Zenki240sxse]

I agree +1

[friesngravy]

cause then they'd have a corvette killer..and it would cannibalize sales!

[TamiyaDude]

like a twin turbo 4 would not have been enough power. ha ha

[hotrod0427]

The Pontiac Solstice comes with a 2.4 Ecotec (4cyl) engine, The newer GXP version comes with a 2.0L turbocharged engine.

[frrd108]

how many cylinders come in 1 of those?

i raced one in my v8 roush mustang and i barely won?

[hotrod0427]

GM LS7 (427cid) with twin turbos.

[frrd108]

What does it come stock?

but wow in! all that in a tiny car like that! how many horses is that pushing that?

[haharoadkillking]

on there website the supercharged LS7 package pushes 900hp, 750hp to the rear wheels.

[kckough]

@hotrod0427 lmao theres not a fuckin chance! a twin-turboed ls7 makes like 5-700 hp unless its a shit garage job or a panzy ass driver

[julianelmur]

looks like the weight distribution got thrown off.

[EMG4Life]

yeah this thing isnt fast..... only because you would need slicks about a foot and a half each to put some power down.

[222Doc]

LOL not fast, you need a good driver. BOVs are releasing boost at barking. Sounds sweet

[hotrod0427]

What's realy cool is at 1:04 after shifting into 4th it breaks the tires loose for just a second before he hits the brake.

[toy200sx]

Probably just the sound of the external wastegate opening to atmosphere i'm guessing. It doesn't seem to loose traction in the lower gears which is more probable. Sounds nice though

[slozx219]

At 1:04...he finally goes wide open for a slip second....which makes the tires break loose. Its most likely a customer car so i doubt he wanted to go out and slam on it hard.

[mediina1]

that guy can't drive

[frrd108]

WOW no wonder he kept up im pushin 650 now so that guy must have been slow on the clutch
