They pulled stuff out to save weight too?

Seems like you would need to have a truck follow you around with extra sets of tires.

 

I'd buy it if it was kept reasonably priced.

I'd say reasonably priced would, if it was OEM produced = no more than 40k. Preferably less, like say 36k. Doesn't have to be loaded to the hilt - just made to perform.

Anymore than that and you can just about buy a Vette. Albeit only LS2, but I'd rather have a 400hp LS2 Vette than a 500hp LS7 Solstice if they were both about the same price.

 

Yes, there are a few things that had to be fabricated but the vast majority are parts bin.

 

I bet you that they won't mention in their write up that a company has already done that, and is selling them.

 

Very cool build-up.

 

Mallet? I think only LS2 Mallets are available and at a much more premium price than most would consider them worth when the LS2 Vette is on the market. I personally think this writeup was more to see the viability of a factory-produced LS7 Solstice using GM OEM parts.

 

How would you keep this car from spontaneously bursting into flames or going back in time?

 

lol

hey wait does this remind you of any other car per say oh Shelby cobra.

 

That think would waste a Z06! Holy Crap!!

 

in theory it has a better power/weight ratio

 

I saw that a few months ago and just wow... I wanted a Solstice when they were only going to have 2xxHP, now I would kill for that car,

 

Mallet offers a 500 hp heads/cam ls2 and a 600 hp supercharged ls2

 

what do you think our chances are of having a gm built v8 solstice? after the turbo model is out, i'd guess extremely slim. just out of curiosity though...

maybe in a few years i'll say screw the camaro and buy a high mileage used solstice and send it to mallet.

 

If only i had the dozens of thousands of dollars...
