if this Solstice was equipped with a carbon fiber intake with a double block chamber then i would say it can push upto 800bhp easily.

Sorry ‘chris’ and ‘manny’ for the confusion.

I only have a small bit of time to read as many articles as possible.

By the time I got to the end of the article I completely forgot about the HR mag part. Scary… eh?

I guess I was just frustrated at GM and auto makers in general having these cool engineering projects and concept cars, then when the ’showroom’ version comes out it’s generally a ‘turd’ in comparison.

I just have a bad feeling about the Camaro, if made, in reality! I love it now. The Solstice is for someone else.

“2008 Camaro and 2008 GTO, you gotta luv it.”

Isn’t the GTO now defunct?

he thinks gm is wasting their engineering talent/money on things like this… the truth is, if you read the article, it was mostly a hot rod magazine project…
whoever built it, its sweet…

“Ideally I’d say this type of engineering for the heck of it is cool. But in light of GM going downhill it seems a bit dumb to try to ’shine the turd’ so to speak. ”

What are you talking about?

My God is that crazy. I want one, that car has got to be all kinds of rediculous fun to drive with an LS7 in it.

I’m pretty sure this is the definition of excess. Does one even remotely need this? No not at all but it doesn’t stop me from wanting one.

Adam, conceptually really no different than the 427 Cobra Roadster of 1966.
Nothing wrong with a little fun.

I don’t care how much power they put in it. In my area they were all bought up by chicks and gays. That’s cool and all, just don’t expect me to get excited about a car with that label.
