Pontiac Solstice Weekend Racer??

http://us.tnpv.net/2005/WKA200510/WK...2545320_pv.jpg

Saw this on the Wieck Media site with the title "Pontiac Solstice Weekend Racer". Is this a factory race-spec solstice or something?

Re: Pontiac Solstice Weekend Racer??

Would a Supercharged LS7 putting down 700 RWHP make it better?

Ain't that the truth. They destroyed a very pretty car here.

Maybe that test mule with the V8 running around in Detroit that I talked about a few weeks ago it this car.

I suspect we will in the future see a v8 Solstice in production despite what the naysayers are saying here.

I think it looks decent, minus the wing. I think it'd be sick in black.

Re: Pontiac Solstice Weekend Racer??

I would bet the wing would help produce at least some downforce, which is probably going to be needed with 700+ rwhp.
