Default Check this out

got a vid of the LS7 Solstice at idle today. GM had several of their new vehicles at my college today. this solstice is mean. 585hp, only 2800 lbs, 0-60 in ~3.4secs, 10.99 1/4 mile on street tires. this thing sounds exactly like a drag car. the entire body is carbon fiber with the exception of the quarter panels.

LS7 Solstice...holy shit...

Thatll give the C6 ZO6 Vette a run for its money.

Is it just a prototype car or is it actually going to be a production model?

If it was production I would cream my pants.

Edit: Nevermind, looks like it was just a build car for a mag. Holy shit that thing is nuts though!

There is a guy in my town that had an ls7 conversion done on a Solstice. He had the work done in Chicago, said he is putting down 590 hp we messed around for a second.....wow! It was pretty insane.
His license plate : 2mchfun
