Solstice LS7 at idle

[4NICK8TER1]

sounds like horsepower to me

[eclipsegsx765]

[bboo419]

@eclipsegsx765 ccw s500 i believe...positive ccw though...

[ClutchGT]

O-M-G that cam is so sek-zy!

[silvermm254]

[20bassmaster]

[UnholySatyr]

valve overlappppp

[porksniffer]

Holy Fuck, Sounds like a piece of shit.

[TroutButter]

@porksniffer You must not know much about high performance cars obviously.

[Michiganman2cali]

They could afford the engine swap but could upgrade the exhaust? What is that like 2" pipes?

[Talon21500]

Want.



[flatblackstrat]

Is it idling or making Jiffy Pop.

[juice0791]

Well they used to say that the opel was the poor mans corvette. I would say this is the not so poor mans viper.

[green461]

Sounds like a big fart

[xowhytemagicox]

just doesnt fit the car... sounds more like a 4 cyl running on 3 if ya ask me haha

[lifesgo0d]

sounds better than popcorn

[crazywin99669]

people say this sounds like popcorn? well hell gime a bowl of that dam popcorn!

[TJ42O]

@crazywin99669 lol you couldnt afford a bowl of that popcorn.

[select20]

Sounds horrible.

[isaiah213]

damn that LS7 sounds like a harley motorcycle

[zerooneonefive]

Man that thing sounds beastly and it must be stupid fast with a 427ci LS7 in it!

[ericg83z]

omg thats awesome, thats better than the suicide car that mopar had made

[rebelracer77]

@ericg83z what's the suicide car?

[Akisdx]

Nice Vid indeed! Can anyone tell me tho, where can i find this rear bumper? Any ideas?

[silveradomanz71]

sounds bitchin

[bluebirdinmytummy]

such a big engine for a car to small, hummm, ever hear of the shelby cobra????????

[strmchsr902004]

GOD! thank you! finally someone smart!

[kckcki]

That's a big popper down there ! Soundz like u cud do a tribal dance to the Big Popping sounds.. Damn whatz wrong with the engine of this little demon ?? Does it normally sound like dat or am I "high" on something ??

[ThePumpkinKing1606]

sounds to me like its cammed

[tasteslikes0be]

@kckcki i hope you were high when you rote that

[strmchsr902004]

ummmmm...no thats normal on some 8 cylinders. could just mean a bigger cam shaft...to most people its how a v8 is supposed to sound...especially an LS7 corvette engine

[Ratmouth66]

omg, pleeaassee put this in the new Z/28 haha, the LSA is a good engine but just not on the same awsome level as this

And its probly hotcammed, around 586hp =D woo!

[KliptikaLBlooD]

it sounds like that kuz of the audio that the camera could take, im sure it sounded waayyyy better in person! =]

[HKuspDADDY]

thats how its suposed to sound, its a HUGE cam

[jcobaltss2005]

i dont think its as big as it seems. hes prob got the idle set at 800 or something low

[HKuspDADDY]

800 is normal, its a BIG cam for a LS7

[MisterBaz1]

Exactly. And untuned.

[iguanaboy4eva89]

man thats a big asssssssssssssssssss cam

[musicISlyf1]

sounds like some1 popping popcorn

[ParisHypocrisy]

esa madre parese una moto italika despedorrandose haha

[camarodue]

it could pass for a sleeper. i think so

[1969MustangMACH1]

Groovy idel

[MoParguytilidie]

ok before you all attack i dont much about the solstice, but that hing comes with an ls7?!?!? man that things so light and tiny itd haul ass in a finger snap!!! the idle is just pure sex and you cant argue that.

[Stevenhiggles]

it does sound nice but I think they come in a 4 and 6 cylinder. With or without turbos. Low BHP, but with this? My God. Put one in a mini cooper!

[MoParguytilidie]

lol yeah all we need is a thousand pund car with a 7L 505hp motor lol. i thought it was too big for a corvette let alone this thing! but whoever owns this can really surprise other on the street and track!

[HKuspDADDY]

way more than 505 hp with that cam

[sweet60chevy]

oh my i think i just messed myself

[MotorCityNova]

That thing sounds fucking pissed

[dahliametal]

boner!

[Vette1171]

Does anyone know the specs on that cam? It sounds even nastier than mine....  I love it!

I'm guessing somewhere in the 250/250 .611/.611 110 to 111 LSA range...lots of lope on that cam!

[HeadShot219]

The engine sounds like hell

[EPFANTCB]

Way beyond the design of this car interesting no one really has shown the car driving or the the numbers.

If a car is not designed for that much horsepower changing just the engine is stupid.

Weight distribution alone will throw this car out of ballance.

[coujoe76]

your an idiot, its a 52/48 weight distribution with that motor and a full tank. read up on it. 2880 total pounds.

[LaxMan851]

haha, I dont even know if thats true but I love the way your reacted to his statement

[nubian2324]

haha. its only about 150 pounds less than a corvette. probably cheaper to build thouh.

[BradZeckser]

They didn't change just the engine, they also made a custom suspension, put in a different transmission and rear end, and fortified the body.

[LyadinDima]

such a huge engine for a small car like that, must haul some serious ass

[aga080]

thanks for revving it

[mazdamike]

that thing sounds prety sick

good work

[35057]

That car with an LS7 has traction issues as it is.. THey threw a fukin CAM IN IT?T?T?T?!! Good luck holdin that down..

[boofthese]

uhhh any good driver will be able to handle it, LOL unless your like me and just wanna go balls out EVERYWHERE you go

[mrshitr]

dummest comment ever

[Vader350Z]

amazing work!

[italia10588]

now i would like these cars if they all did this.

although i think thhis would be even more badass in a sky

[dxn217]

agreed, the sky's are so much better looking. the solstice is nice, just it has no real lines or anything to break up the curves. still i wouldnt mind driving this one

[carlosr428]

dude u just put a rocket engine in a Fig Newton

[unicursalhex]

mean cam

[InsertTrendyNameHere]

sounds like popcorn

[insonita55]

hahaha XD

[Death656]

@InsertTrendyNameHere its cammed

[g9m3c]

It sounds like they haven't tuned it properly yet. Even with the cam it has in it, it shouldn't idle that poorly. They prolly just shot this vid soon after it was installed. A little tuning and it'll idle like a champ!

[KngZ28]

clueless

[TEFLONTHADON]

completely clueless

[gt3000nc]

it is supposed to idle like that it has a cam on it

[g9m3c]

Not clueless, but well informed on this car. Do any of you even READ hot rod mag? Oh, and gt3000nc, it may have a cam IN it, but definitely not ON it. Wow.

P.S. Watch "LS7 (427ci) Pontiac Solstice" Lots better idle thanks to hot rod's TUNING.

[zoso0987]

you sure they didnt just raise the idle on that vid? that would be my guess

[g9m3c]

Raising idle = tuning. All done through the PCM.

[strykerfan]

and just how many GM motors have u played with

[tamak47]

I traded a 06 corvette Zo6 in for a GXP, I feel in love with the way the solstice looked, if this engine would become a factory option, it would  be a dream come true

[PureAssassinIII]

Is it me or does it sound like the thing is making popcorn! It needs the idle set higher! like 1200 rpm. Trust me , the car sounds like shit the way its set up.

[sd455pontiac]

Aparently, you don't know much about cars or motors. The reason it idles like that is because GM installed a hotter (larger) cam in the motor. The hotter the cam the raunchier the idle, it's ALWAYS been this way and trust me they KNOW what they're doing.

[eljugador88]

i believe thats the bigger the cam, the higher the lift, the longer the duration, and LSA the more LUMPY the idle

[sd455pontiac]

eljugador88, exactly the point I was making. Obviously you have experience with REAL performance cars. Not like some of these people that think they do.

[plantboy2221]

Sounds like PureAssassinIII is all about image, kinda like a girl supermodel that drives a pink BMW but I guess if it sounds cool it must be right??? I trust that GM didn't put a poor team together on this. Sounds fine to me.

[mikeb1444]

I think it's the LSA that gives you the skip effect ant the Lift and duration combo that gives the deeper tone.

[aleks6989]

with that small exhaust and weird small car mufflers it doesn't sound like a true 427. still this car has to be damn powerful. I think the exhaust tips, in the middle on top of each other like that, looks pretty stupid.

[suprbird]

this would tear up imports on track or strip.

[stuie334]

ya they should totally make an option for the solctice

[huggmg]

It's gonna stall! It's gonna stall! It's NOT gonna stall! I'm in love!haha Why can't they make this an option for the Soltice? jp lol

[evolutionmb]

Sounds like "Hot for Teacher" Nice....

[firemun59]

i would add about 300 rpm to the idle - its a big cam but would be more liveable at a 1000 rpm idle - its sounds like about 650 - am I correct or is the idle already a grand?

[simon19183]

This thing has 585 hp and 540 lb-ft.

[bassoonboy]

i like the cams to have more burble in it. This must have a ton of power though. nice nice nice!

[sebast007]

I want one like this!

[magicalistik]

fuck i need one of those to get more pussy.

[user9911at]

I feel sorry for you

[bc250f]

Nasty Nasty cam. sounds like 300+ degrees of duration Oh just to set the record straight it is duration not lift that makes a cam lope.

[carguymitch]

What cam is in that car?

[Chill1952]

Sounds like a badly tuned old Harley

[supraturboLBJ]

sounds like one badass cam

[user9911at]

Dumb ass, thats the sound of power. I guess you don't know shit.

[Loganpowers101]

that a bike or something besides, when he turned off the car the motor was still on.

[kmoney2k10]

if that car were a woman i would make sweet sweet love to it.

[Liberty65]

Thats Hot!

[new91178]

Sick!!!!!

[aj821347]

that thing has to be a wheelspin whore

[BuddhaXcore]

its not tuned yet, thats prolly why it idles soo off, either that or the degree of the cam is ridiculously huge.

[tylerbutcher]

its tuned...its just runnin like .600+ lift in the small block

[COREYHELLO]

Sounds like any Cammed out V8. Music.

[rollaskata]

yup... that's exactly how a cammed V-8 sounds... surprised that the mic had such good quality infact

[VncentValntine]

well then maybe the other camera's mic fooled me. Ive seen this same car in another video and the idle didnt sound as uneven. I know the "sound" of the idle is normal as i've been around many drag cars. but the pattern of the exhaust sounded different here than when i saw/heard this car before in the other vid. didnt mean any offence

[VncentValntine]

the camera's crappy mic clips, thats why the idle sounds weird

[WhatsaSpeedLimit]

Idle sounds very odd, almost like a Harley...still badass, I like how the exhaust comes out..and yes I would buy one.

[ls1munky]

i only have an ls1 makes me feel slow

[tcal1987]

Wow! Sound's wicked.

[mionkeyfighter2000]

does it sound like farting to anyone else?

[Killaj17]

it sounds all skippy about it.. exlax anyone? LMAO

[Riles8]

whoa buddy! talk about putting WAY to much cam into that thing, GET IT OFF IDLE!!! haha no more pistons left :P

[ONYXS13]

Idle sounds flipping lame.. Still would love to have that swap in that car !!

[PrudentAzn]

DAAAAAAAAM

[PrudentAzn]

DAAAAAAAAM that must get like 10's maybe because that car is super light as hell!!!
