I agree, nasty kit. LS7 is crazy in that car though, must be loads of fun.

550hp, and 2800lbs is what they ended up getting it to weigh... thats insane.

Meh, the Z4 with the M5 V10 would outhandle and outrun it. Plus the M5 V10 alone costs more than purchasing a Solstice and all the parts and work needed to convert it.

I've driven the new M5, and dayum that thing is fast, and its not a light car either.

If that engine was in a Z4 it would break the car in two!!

Awesome, but I bet it will be going nowhere really fast. It's bound to have huge traction problems.

thats why they threw in different tires and wider tires.

an LS7 engine is only 15k and the GM site has 7 of them.

i just want to buy one, for some random future project.

maybe a go-kart.

if you think that car would have traction problems, how much better would a go kart be?
