Here is a good entertaining review of the Solstice GXP. Pretty sure I wouldn't want to take this car to the track based on this review.

well the Mallet one is price of the car, plus $50 or so for engine, and then about $16 for the bodywork.
so yeah, stupid to throw money at a pontiac like that, but you sure as hell wont see many like it on the road, but then again...with that money you can make a lot of things to any car... :)

Those guys who modified thier cars are stupid because there already are aftermarket body kits that look much better. Just look at this one at:

That version looks much better than the stock and is allot cheaper than adding Ferrari and Porsche parts to their Solstice. :cheers:

This new GXP will also be featured as one of the many cars in the new upcoming Transformers Movie. It has a hradtop that was custom made for the movie and as of now is still not availible to the public.

Here's a review between the Solstice GXP and 2006 Boxster.

Despite having more power and torque, it only beats it in the 1/4 mile by .1 second..




It beat the Box on the road course (somehow...)

I always say that it looks like a beaver.
