Link worked fine for me. Hasn't Mr. Lutz said time and time again that they won't make one?

It's a shame you can't take pics at SEMA, or I'd have them posted in a few weeks.

No reason why they couldn't put a V8 in it.

Re: V8 Solstice from GM

Has Mallett anounced the prices for their V8 Solstices/Skys? I think it is cool, and completely possible, but I do not think we will see a factory V8 Solstice untill the next generation (if ever). Just remember the Vette started with a I6 .

Re: V8 Solstice from GM

I'll get into this in a little bit in a writing. I'll say this....Mallet usually gets their V8's from GM on this, however GM has refused to back them on this project.

Take it as you will based on that information. There is NO V8 coming on Kappa, AT ALL. Understood?

Re: V8 Solstice from GM

That didn't really show me any pricing, but thanks. After a bit more searching I found it. $18,000 for the conversion.
