The Saturn Sky looks really cool, if only they have some more power(250-300 hp) I MAY consider it.

With this conversion Vette motor it should have 400+ HP. Imagine the Z06 Motor in it 500+ HP 2700 lb it will be close to CGT speed. and whoud sell for 60-70 G's Now that is a deal. :dance:

That Saturn Sky looks good! With 400hp, it would be insane. GM makes ******************** cars, but their motors are tough as nails!

Give me a Sky with 400hp for $30K and I'll buy it on the spot!

My top dog friend of mine at GM says they are planning a 240hp Sky(Redline Edition). So wait for that if you plan to buy one.
He said if he were to get one of the two it would be the Sky since the Solstice was made more cheaply compared of the two.

400hp would be nice but not from that oversized, under-revving, 50 year old lump they call the Corvette motor. Give me a Northstar V8 - DOHC or nothing!!!
