Yea, that's one sexy car. Isn't it an Opel though? Or is that what they call the Euro version? The engine's a joke though. 170hp? |
It's a light car. Look at the Lotus Elise. It only has 190hp but can run with the big boys. |

The Solstice/Sky have a 2860lb curb weight (almost 900 more pounds than an Elise) and have 20 less horsepower. They can't run with the big boys.
They're fat as , for no reason. |

Not exactly collaboration, Opel is completely owned by General Motors. |

Not always, I believe GM bought out Opel in the mid 90s. |

Gm owns vauxhaul too... its like they went on a buying spree like 10 years ago so they could poach everyone elses stuff insted of actually fixing their own... |

no front plate needed in Alberta either.
I ran for a month and half(in sauga) with no front plate just to see howlong it would take me to get pulled over...took that long, but only cause dude was with a rookie. Its not worth it though. Run the damn plate. I had mine in the back seat and gave him a line about fixing my bumper. No issues. *note I only had it off to see howlong it would take to be pulled over, not cause im cool like diabolic* In Toronto im sure it wouldve been pulled over sooner. They are still stuck in the fast and the furious. OMG NAAAAAAAAWS
solstice is a step in the right direction for GM thats for sure. Still needs furthur tweaking to be really nice, like loosing a little weight and some more ponies(the turbo one will help that out), and ditching the rubbermade container interior.
Did I mention the 350 is a giant nissan turd? |
