Are there any of the old Scionlife gang left?
I have a new toy coming in tomorrow.
2009 Wicked Pontiac Solstice GXP Turbo. I already ordered the factory turbo upgrade and it should be here in a week or two. Will push it from 260hp and 260lb-ft to 290 hp and 340lb-ft. The GXP I test drove was a lot of fun stock. Quite a bit below the 370hp on my Crossfire SRT-6 I just sold.

The salemans girlfriend drives a Tc.

Hey Dave another car.....nice choice!

Looks like a Writesville Beach cruiser. hint hint

i think the Saturn looks meaner.

so when can we expect 600WHP? the Eco-tec is a stout motor

I don't like the chopped off lines on the Sky. Plus they be going by the wayside.

firesquare

does Pontiac have a program where you can pick it up from the factory in Delaware?

Yea, Matchbox is like a bad rash. U never get rid of it! roflmao. If he keeps going back down in HP, he'll be back in a Scion in 6 months.

Sciond

he'll be in an IQ

Nice Dave!! Can I get a ride???! lol

matchbox

Miss you beepbeep. Sure you can ride anytime.

matchbox

Me a rash? The good kind I hope. Well the turbo upgrade got put in and now I'm up to 290hp. The next step will be a LSx V8 motor @400hp.

matchbox

I saw you kept my name up on the forum after I was gone. When people got into hp flaming.

Sciond

well your hp were the highest documented at the time and these noobs did not have clue.........

matchbox

I'll make it down there if I can keep a car long enough. Came across this new 08 EVO X for $36,500 with a $10,000 rebate. And now it's mine. I already knew Paul would love it...

too bad the valve cover will leak oil after 30,000 miles :-P. magazines say it needs another gear. their is a blue one in town with yellow headlight covers.

i think you would have done better with a G8 GXP, they're giving them away almost.

XD40tC

Eh thats an easy fix. Too bad it only has 5 gears though.

matchbox

I have had 3 6-speeds. Great if your on the highway a lot. But I live downtown and 1/2 from my office. If the valve cover leaks its covered 5 yrs 60k. Come 2019 Pontiac owner will be SOL.
Hell I only kept the last one for 2500 miles.


I drove a G8 GT hated it. Mexico engine and aussie rest. It was too big to even park in my spot at home. And at work it was too wide to fit the parking spots. Anything over 4 cylinders has taken a bad hit right now. I wouldn't touch Pontiac if someone gave me one.

firesquare

but you bought one...................and then sold it :-P
