i would just buy a used vette. i work at a saturn dealer and even though the new skys are selling well, they still have there fair share of problems, and even thought the base prive is like 22k i haven't seen one for less than 28k and the mark up is ridiculous. the dealerships are also installing gmpp intakes for $800 and the full suspension system costs 4000 for just parts which is new shock, spring and swaybars.

we have already replaced a top, bcm (body controll module), wheel liners becasue the rear axles were not centered or something and the tire rubbed on one side. there is a tranny recall. i think that is al for now.

dont you see how stupid this is? for the money that you WASTE on a mallet slowstice with an LS7, you could buy a Z06, and have a car built to handle the power...

The Solstice/Sky are rear wheel drive. and i would never buy a new car the first year it comes out = STUPID.
GM designed these things to be able to swap a small block right in it. You should be seeing quite a few LS1 powered Solstices, as the LS1 can be had for pretty cheap. Its like the 21st century Chevy Vega ;)

Hey, St. Ignace car show, I used to go to that every year. It's not fun anymore, but back in the day it was like a mini Mardi Gras..

I would about keep the eco-tech in it. They are proved to be good modable engines and the newer verions are allready boosted so they are ready to make power
