Its a nice little sporty car. however, its not racing car, its a sports car. If you want a real racing car look at a corvette, especially the ZR1 coming out in 09. Amazing. I like the solstice, its very flashy.
now one problem with this car. it looks real nice but thats about it. its drasticly underpowerd for its cc and it has a 0-60 time that almost every little hot hatch can beat. for gods sake my 2.0 clio has the same bhp and shades almost 1 sec of the 0-60
Your correct on most of that execpt this car with the work done to it dyno'ed at 178Hp at the rear wheels and 264Hp on a 75shot of Nitrous....Happy Trails!
You don't get it: this car is not about 0-60 times. Yes - almost every little "hot hatch" can beat it, but you can't drop the top on a civic. You can't drop the top on any "hot hatch"... because they are, by definition, hatch-backs. If you want performance, then anyone with a wallet can get it. Your clio will always be just a hatch-back - no matter how much you spend.

Actually under 15psi of boost this car makes as much HP as a C6 Vette. So it has no problems keeping up with the big boys at only 3100 pounds.

What's a hot hatch? I blew away a G35 infinitley jap crap piece of shit with my 07 GXP...from a dig.
I've beaten every VW and japanese car short of a WRX and Evo.
I would waste Hondas if one with a scrotum pulled up to race.

very cool, Did not know that! I think the 2.4L in the Solstice is a genII Ecotech. It has been said that it is different from the GenI 2.4L.
