Default Sky / Solstiice Conversions

I hope this isnt a repost ( sorry if it is ) just wondering if yall have seen this yet ...

http://www.mallettcars.com/solstice-conversion.htm

gets you an LS2 in either a Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Sky

personally i like the looks of the sky better.
(for those who havnt seen/heard of the sky heres the site)
http://www.saturn.com/saturn/vehicle...y_hi/index.jsp

based on the MSRP of the the cars and the $20k it costs for an LS2, all the suspension upgrades required,and with AC.....looks like it works out to be about what you would spend on a vette in the first place. I still think it woudl be cool to drive around in that lil *** car with an LS2

Nice little car, Looks to me like a Cobra/Viper killer. Imagine the new LS7 in that thing.

V8 Archie that makes kits to put V8 engines in the Fiero is working on a kit for the Do-it-yourselfer to put the LSx engine in the Solstice.
