This thing is SICK!! It comes with a 400hp LS2, Luk Gold clutch, short throw shifter, Mallett-Penske non adj shocks, hi perf brake pads and ss brake lines, weighs 3010lbs and goes 0-60 in 4.2 seconds. If thats not enough you can get a supercharged version with a six speed Tremec trans w/three gear ratio options, 19 in. alloy wheels, Mallett-Penske double adj shocks, coilovers and antiroll bars, trans and diff coolers, ss exhaust, a four core radiator and it makes 600hp.

Wait, there's more, you can also get a 402 stroker or if you want to have the baddest Solstice in the planet you can get one with a supercharged 427 AND THEY COME WITH A 2 YEAR/24,000 MILE WARRANTY TO BOOT!! Man if I only had the money

 

Solstice are kinda but i would definfitely drive a Mallett Solstice. gimme the 427 SC. even though its prob $100k

 

have you seen the blue zr1 in their shop?
I saw it in person...like 1500hp blower setup with like 400cfm heads .

sry had to add that.

Last time i was there they were talking about making an AWD cobalt with an LS2.

Must be nice to have GM funding!!

 

Yeah, I read about it the Dec. 19 issue of Autoweek, which is where I got the info on the Solstice(page 28 if anyone gets Autoweek). It's a twin turbo ZR1 that has a top speed of 273MPH!!!!! Veyron what.

 

I see a lot of lsx swaps in the near future for the solstice.

 

The car was at the SEMA show and Mallet was talking about how he was looking into mass producing it. (only a few of them a year)

Anyways, glad to see it will follow through. Mallet is a crazy guy but his work is extremely bad ***

 

That has to be an estimated top speed. Even the Sledgehammer didnt go that fast and it had a TT 355 pushing out nearly 900hp. 254.76mph was its final tally.

 

With 1500hp I'm sure it can go 273. I think Lingenfelter's 298mph firebird had ~1200, give or take a few 100.

 

Yeah I thought the Sledgehammer was the fastest street legal Corvette. The first I heard any different was two days ago when I read about the Mallett TT ZR1 in the Autoweek mag that said "His best known street car to date may be the twin turbo Corvette ZR1 from 1996, which ran a top speed of 273 mph."

I looked on the Mallett website to try and find more info on it and they only mentioned it briefly and gave no details.

 

You really can't compare the Mallett TT ZR1 and the Lingenfelter Firebird though because the Firebird is a Bonneville salt flats car with very high gears and all the areodynamic aids to help it acheive those speeds where as the Mallett TT ZR1 is a street car.

 

That is why I'm saying with a few hundred more hp I'm sure it can do about 25mph less.

 

Not saying it wont do 273, b/c with that much power Im sure it will. But it takes more than just power to achieve 273mph. Ive seen pics of the car, but I'd like to see more than just Mallet saying "The car did 273mph".

And BTW, here's pics of the Mallet Solstice




In case those dont work, here's the link

 

I agree with ya Ling it takes alot more than hp to achieve speed of that nature, I was a little taken back when I read that but w/o any outside proof we might never know for sure. Thanks for posting the pics of the Mallett Solstice as well, I tried but lets face it i'm about as smart as a 2 month old when it comes to computers.

 

Aside from the grille/front end on the Solstice I think it looks pretty good for what it is, if only it had a V8
Oh wait......

lol. I actually think the Sky looks better. Has a more aggressive look. If I had the cash, a Sky with an LS2 would be one hell of a fun car



And its ok ls1-ss, I actually found the pics off Mallett's site. All you normally have to do is right click on the pic, go to properties and find the location link with the .jpeg extension. After that wrap it with [IMG] [/IMG] and if your pic can be hot-linked - voila! You've posted a pic.

 

the car looks pretty sweet but wtf was saturn thinking. Who is going to buy a car called the "sky"

yeah i drive a saturn sky...its badass

 

That Soltice looks good, it would be even better at about 2800lbs.

 

I think the solstice looks sweet and the Mallet car is just insane.

 

Starting at double the sticker.... no thanks.

 

Well, the package = the sticker price of the car so its not THAT bad when you consider you're getting an engine thats 2x the size, with 2x the power and with a warranty to boot. For 36k total, its a tad expensive but you'll have one hell of a sleeper!
