The factory options make a cute car but I would never buy it that way. The Mallett build makes it a little monster. I agree with the idea that even a relatively stock LS motor makes that car into what it should have been from the factory, as an option of course, for those who want the V8 and beefed up drivetrain to go with it. I enjoyed the Hot Rod magazine build-up of an LS7 Solstice. The local speed shop has some Friday night meets, and there are already a couple V8 Solstice's that show up. I'm waiting to see one at one of my track days to see how it does. I went to Pocono this Saturday and not even one Solstice of any kind.
