Pontiac Solstice...Anyone plan on getting one?

10-11-2004, 10:32 PM

What do you people think of the Solstice thats coming out next fall? It looks sweet i think but kinda pathetic in the options department.

I'm too lazy... I know what it looks like, but LINK a brotha up to see the options please! Thanks

See the attachment. i like the manual tranny and the rear wheel drive but only a 2.4l w/ 170hp

2002GT · 10-11-2004, 10:41 PM

ew, not the car, but the engine size!!! is that the biggest engine size they are going to offer with the solstice?

02andahalfgt · 10-11-2004, 10:42 PM

I believe there's an Ecotec s/c out there. Plus that thing is pretty light, good power to weight ratio. It's grown on me, I really like it actually.

10-11-2004, 10:48 PM

it seems quite affordable, starting at around 20k .. i think ill take 3 :P

GrandAmChick · 10-11-2004, 11:00 PM

It's..... cute?? Kinda looks like the MR2 Spyder from the front.

I remember reading about the s/c too.. n it says the 2.4 will produce "up to" 170hp..

GrahamKracka · 10-11-2004, 11:34 PM

its the same 2.4 ecotech thats supposed to go into the g6

AaronGAGT · 10-12-2004, 12:04 AM

How big of an opening do you need for a hamster?

Mike3800 · 10-12-2004, 08:33 AM

2 seater no thanks.

jake3217 · 10-12-2004, 08:58 AM

I think it looks hot...the pricetag is appealing to me, might be looking for one in a few years.

As for 170 horsepower being weak...the thing is a 2 seater, it can't weigh too much, so there's gotta be a decent power to weight ratio. Also I recall hearing plans for a s/c version, should make things interesting

that'll answer some of your questions. i think its ugly.

mr_eh · 10-12-2004, 09:31 AM

its gotta be at least a mid 14s car, its gotta weight in the 25-3000 range, manual, with a 2.4 sc... it'll whomp cavaliers that run low 15's n/a...

rwd is nice too, i'd like to see some body kits for it - i'd seriously consider getting one

Vintalage · 10-12-2004, 07:50 PM

Nice lines. Interior looks good. We all know we won't see that same quality interior in the production car.

Sleepwalkr · 10-12-2004, 09:17 PM

If I had the money and a 2-seater was in my list of options in life......... I'd absolutely take one.

Warthog · 10-12-2004, 10:13 PM

car looks great, no plans of getting one...but it's hot

GregFarz78 · 10-13-2004, 04:58 AM

If this thing doesnt weigh around 2000-2500lbs I give it the

GM must have really detuned this car I remember a C&D article from a while back they were claiming a mid 13 sec car under 20k. Looks good but the engine sucks
