Default Cobalt SS, SRT-4 Or Soltice GXP

I dont think the Solstice GXP is out yet, so just the normal Solstice, but does anyone have vids of these cars running yet? Any info? Which is the best of the 4 bangers? Your thoughts?

I'm considering selling my SS for a Solstice GXP. The little ecotec is a stout motor and with the turbo should respond very well to mods. I believe with some basics (intake, mbc, blow off valve, downpipe, catback) it should be in the 12's. They're saying low 14's stock possibly high 13's.

i like the look of it.. but the fact that its made by saturn, and it is called a "Sky" kind of takes away the appeal

i think "car and driver" mentioned the "ls7 solstice" and compared it to the old shelby cobra etc. but bottom line, the ls7 solstice would cost around 55k!

Those are 3 poor options.

I hate Neons, and the Solictice reminds me of a Miata, and they are both

I'd say Cobalt is it has to be one of those three.

I dunno how someone could call a Solstice gay but then pick a Cobalt. That's some comedy there.

But between the 3, Solstice hands down, although I'd rather pick the Sky because it looks awesome. Yes, it does have a gay name though.

Grassroots Motorsports tested a Solstice against the new Miata, and the Solstice came out the winner. Although each of them has it's pros and cons.

Solstice for me, but I would definitely get the Sky, and wait for the GXP model, that thing is going to be really fun.
