LS7 Solstice this month in HOT ROD Just got this issue out of the mailbox when I was getting in the car to go to work (doesn't working Sat. night suck), they have a large article showing a swap to the LS7 in a Soltice. Thought some people on here might want to check this article out. 
They, as far as I got to read, weren't going to show any dyno results/times until June or July. I for one am anxious to see some times on this setup, if they can ever get it to hook.

WOW, I thought a supercharged LS2 would be nice in my Solstice, sounds like an LS7 might be the way to go... LOL. OVERKILL, did they mention the car was for Jay Leno?

Page 3 of Mallet's pdf shows the LS7 package as $47,000 so... It has already been done (or atleast offered).
But for 45,995 they have the 600hp Supercharged LS2 package.
I do believe that is a little much (price wise) for a LS2 w/SC and custom 5 spoke wheels.

I bet the c6 z06 would still be just as fast as the LS7 Solstice. How much does the new z06 weigh? In the ballpark of 3150lbs I believe. How much would an LS7 Solstice weigh? The Solstice isn't a particularly light car as far as 2 seater roadsters go, and I believe Mallett's LS2 Solstice weighs in at something like 3050lbs. The z06 only has 100lbs more than the Solstice, wider tires, and a better weigh distribution than an LS7 Solstice will.
The idea is cool, but for that kind of dough I would just get a z06.

Some ridiculous money to make a 20 thousand something dollar car go fast.
As RussStang said ... just buy a Z06. Not to mention after you put all that money and work into the solstice, it will only be worth like 25g's ... while the Z06 will be worth 85-90% of what you paid for it.
Cool idea, but lot's of cash.
