Comparing aftermarket shop cars isnt a fair comparison to a factory stock car.

I can make an H2 hummer slay a stock Z06.

Hennesey was putting viper V10's in the back of PT Cruisers.

Anything can be done in the aftermarket with money.

thats correct as i had a 482 cu in aluminum headed BBC in my 74 pickup and i suprised a lot of corvettes at the redlight with a snowmobile or a couple of dirt bikes in the bed for traction. that is were the fun is the look on the other guys face. chasing those rear engine german cars was real fun because you could imagine the look on the drivers face with those cibi driving lights i had mounted shining on the back of their heads while i was glued to their rear bumper. the truck was lowered and had all the good suspension stuff. this was my corvette between corvettes after we had children and need more room and somewhere to haul the toys.

So your worried about a car that weighs 2900lbs with a 4 cyl, and swapping in a heavier 8 cyl engine? Not to concerned about that.

The solstice diff will be lucky if it can handle 250HP

WOuldn't it have to be converted to RWD? Mallett knows what they are doing. Also this is more like a Saleen deal rather than joes garage putting the motor in. It will be offered with a full warranty and sold through Pontiac and Saturn dealerships.

It already is RWD

Well the best thing for the Solstice is the 2007 model that is going to get a turbo. I imagine that opens up all sorts of mod capabilities. I can't recall the supposed increase in power but it should be a nice improvement over the 2006 model. I really like the looksof this car though.

I am also among those above that think it's rather silly to see these posts about "after-market killers" of stock, DOT-legal, production cars. Hasn't it always been blatantly obvious that you can make ANYTHING go faster, if you're willing to fly under the legal radar screen and spend a ton of money......and, of course, if you're willing to give up warranty, reliability, and all sorts of other things.

The only fair comparison is stock car to stock car.
