    "Sweet 'n condensed" Solstice review

    Not sure who that is. I always see MSP's when I'm not in my car. Today I saw a stock Spicy at lunch...but I was in an SRT-8. I didn't care that I wasn't in my MSP at that point. The Mallet Solstice is pimp.

    nokian rsi vs blizzak ws-50

    I have the WS-50's and loved them last winter. I was driving through 6-8" of undisturbed snow with no problem.

    "Sweet 'n condensed" Solstice review

    Yeah, that's why I'm waiting to see the performance numbers of the GXP Solstice vs. the price of a Sky. I'll keep my eyes peeled for places with a black MSP and Solstice parked out front. I'm in Rochester.

    "Sweet 'n condensed" Solstice review

    Spooled - That is a spot on review of the car and I agree with every bit. I drove one the other week at work and felt the same way about it, although it wasn't mine so I had no qualms about reving it up high to find the powerband. It's 80% that I'll have a Sky of a GXP Solstice next summer.

    2006 2.4L Cobalt SS Review and Pics unofficial

    Actually, I would tend to think just the opposite. On track the Ion Redline could out-handle an SRT-4 but would get muscled on the straights. I haven't seen any direct comparo's with the Cobalt, but they're the same basic car. Even though they don't have an independant rear suspension they...

    2006 Dodge Magnum SRT-8

    Then why post about it?? I'vs actually driven the vehicles in the SRT-8 line up and I have to say, they're pretty bad ass.

    Brake Question

    The calipers are different...they're off of an MX-3 or an MX-6...can't remember off the top of my head which it was... The MSP pads are a different friction material also.

    I want this car

    it wasn't 500HP. The mule they tested the V16 in was a stretched Yukon because the show car wasn't ready in time. It still had 1000HP.

    I want this car

    huh? The modern caddy V16 has never been sold. It was just a concept engine and survived in a few test mules. It's two LS series V8's mated together. The Bugatti engine is two VW W-8's mated together so it should be reliable and pass emissions. This car's been in development for 9 years. I...

    All-Terrain Concept Honda Ridgeline @ 2005 SEMA

    At least Liberty's can actually off-road well.

    All-Terrain Concept Honda Ridgeline @ 2005 SEMA

    No amount of bolt-on;s to a ridgeline will make it "all-terrain."

    Chevrolet C4500 Medium Duty Truck @ 2005 SEMA

    They were showing this at Mid-Ohio during the runoffs. (Not the customized version) It's geared more towards someone that's towing a lot of s***, like a race trailor, horse trailor, etc.

    Farewell from Delsing Motorsport

    yes, there is a chance. He send me all the designs he had and I've been going through everything. I'm trying to install the proper CAD programs on my computer this week. Hopefully everything goes smoothly. It's been a busy month for me between work, this, and I'm moving tomorrow. Hopefully by...

    Dyno this saturday Oct 29th

    Yeah, they said they just never got around to cancelling it. An EVO and an STi went while I was there. I got there around 2. I have a baseline, 159 whp. Doesn't matter much anyway...the car's for sale. :(

    Dyno this saturday Oct 29th

    We went and I didn't see you there. Not too many people were around so we just shot the s*** for a while. My friend doesn't really need a 'baseline' he already put down 330 awhp last summer. He's added cams and turned the boost up a bit so he's curious to see where he's at now. Although it...

    I'm seriously thinking about getting this.

    The Trailblazer beats it's price point, but if I were in that market I would get a Jeep SRT-8. That thing is a blast to drive. Although it should ride a little stiffer then the Trailblazer, it will out handle it with ease. Not to mention it looks meaner IMO.

    Solstice Owner Gallery

    I just drove one the other day and it handled pretty well. The top is not hard to raise or lower IMO, and I wouldn't be driving with it up anyway. If I were I'd buy a hardtop for it like they had at SEMA.

    Dyno this saturday Oct 29th

    I'll probably stop by with my friend in his Talon. Not sure if he's going to try and dyno or not.
