Default Pontiac Solstice GXP

well, we knew this was coming; particularly after the images we saw of this testing at the Nurburgring

well, a lot of official info is now out... but suprisingly, it wasnt at the auto-show

anyway, its 260hp (up 47%) 2.0 liter turbo and 260 ft. lbs. its also the first GM vehicle with Direct injection; and for eurocrats out there... its 130hp/liter

they are saying it will 0-60 in under 5.5... i suspect it will be closer to 5 flat.
also, it has sport-tuned suspension, a LSD, and a stability system, and a revised front facia/rear... basically, "eat my dust Miata"

its set as a 2007 model, so dont expect to see it in showrooms until late august/september

You do realize I posted this in the existing solstice thread along with complete specs about 3 weeks ago.

Speaking about the Solstice, a toy store in Geneva had one on the window with a "Aston Martin" tag next to it.

wtf?
