That is one cool lookin car. One of my customers in Brampton has one. Silver.

monopoly 11-23-2005 10:34 PM

YES!

that is exactly what that car needed!!! now its definately sex on wheels in black

That looks really nice but why not just turbo or supercharge the 4 banger and keep the weight down? I wonder if they compensate for the extra weight ? I wonder if the 8 adds that much more weight to the front of the car? Hhhhmmmm. Now that i just read the first post ( i got to read stuff fully before typing lol) it looks like they do upgrade those things , damn! Still i wonder how hard it will be to change thing with it so tightly packed in the engine bay.

CryoSLASH 11-24-2005 03:11 PM

voltar 11-25-2005 05:51 PM

Not a bad price either i'd say. Thats ing awesome. GM V8s are the .

brianb 11-25-2005 06:12 PM

Well it does looks a lot better than the regular one (which still looks good). I like the blacked out grill and dark rims. I would deffinately like to own one of those. I havent had that feeling for any new GM cars in a long time.

rabbitman 11-25-2005 08:06 PM

Makes me wonder how much it could be done for if you did it yourself.

400 HP v8 for base 18 grand? Are you serious? American $?

brianb 11-28-2005 01:51 AM

i think thats the package price of the conversion , which isnt that bad if you think about all the parts and the work thats going into it , plus there is a warranty as well.

jdmsleeper 11-28-2005 11:18 AM

flag on the valve cover kills it, looks like an oversized miata to me, guess i'd need to see it person to really give my opinion, but i'm not a fan.

Nastyzed 12-01-2005 07:24 PM

we could always pretend that flag was japanese.. That way we could pride on a nation far far away.

Hey guys,

I love GM, but this looks impossible. If you look at the headers leaving the engine bay, it looks a little slim to be the LS2 headers. Also the air intake is so restricted based on the amount of air that is required to open up this bad boy, I dont think that this is for real. I have to see this one to believe. The solstice engine bay is WAY to small to fit in a LS2 not including a/c and all the bells.

If they just added on a FAT turbo it would be more efficient in my opinion. Small air intake, small headers = decrease of flow = waste of $$$ and time.

TURBO!!!!

Good find

voltar 01-16-2006 07:18 PM

They offer the LS2 package with a turbocharger.

AND BTW this is for real I dunno how, but they did manage to do this.
