I assume this was the regular Solstice with 177 hp?
The Solstice GXP (Saturn Sky Redline) is coming later this year with 260 hp (5.5 0-60). I'm sure the 987 S is still faster, but it will certainly be closer.
Hypothetically of course, since I'm sure they'll be no Solstice vs. Boxster races going on...
I will say that being beaten by a Solstice in a hypothetical race would be pretty embarassing.
A coworker has the regular Solstice and I don't much care for the looks or the fit and finish. Plus a manual top that requires one to get out of the car is Paleolithic. I do like the looks of the Saturn Sky though.
