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.

thats rediculous, its still a gm tho

 

i wish i woulda had my camera when they were revving it up. i was across campus which is about a 1/4 mile away and you could just hear this roar.

 

LS7 Solstice...holy ****...

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 **** that thing is nuts though!

it was built in house at GM and HOT ROD did a story with the build up. very interesting build ot say the least. and they used alot of factory gm parts aswel.

 

yeah the guy giving the presentation said there is no way it will ever be in production. and with 585hp itll definantly take a vette

 

LSX engines FTW!!!

 

that thing looks insane!

 

thats one fast ugly car

 

tell me you have pics of that car. that is ****ing sick

 

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
