Looks good but I still like the one GM did better.

Badass. I heard that the one GM did (I believe that's the one they were talking about in the article, it was a while ago...) outperformed even the C6 Z06 by a significant amount on the drag strip AND the road coarse. I'll have to see if I can find the magazine and article.

I drove a regular Solstic on a test track right before a C6 vette and I have to believe it. It may not have had any ***** since it was stock, but I clearly felt that it handled much better than the Vette. And I would imagine it's a lot lighter.

Badass little car with an LS7 and must be a BLAST to drive.

looks awesome, but i have to say (and this is hard for me cuz i don't care for saturn) that i like the sky better than the solstice. one was behind me today and i spent about 10 minutes looking in my rearview mirror. beautiful car. the solstice isn't bad either though.
