LS3 V8 2006 Pontiac Solstice For Sale
6.2L LS3 V8 | Metallic Grey Exterior | Dark Grey / Tan Leather Interior | iPod / CD Audio Input | Very Low 18.4K Miles

Legendary LS3 power + Small sports car driving dynamics. Incredible Car!!
This is a fully loaded, very comfortable car and really fast...the fastest car I have ever driven.

I'm guessing 0-60 mph is in the 4 Second range and the quarter mile would be in the low 12's.
However, I've never raced it or taken it to the track, because it's just a fun weekend toy for me.

The LS3 Is The same engine GM puts in the Chevrolet Corvettes, Camaro SS and Pontiac G8 GXP.
V8 (430 Horsepower + 424 lbs-ft Torque) with 5-Speed Close Ratio Manual Transmission.
The Corvette weighs about 3,300 lbs and the Camaro and G8 weigh around 4,000 pounds.
This little solstice only weighs about 3000 pounds. If you do the math, the power to weight ratio is awesome.
This is the Solstice Pontiac should have built from the start. It's like a modern day Shelby Cobra.

All the the Solstice electrical controls work perfectly, because it is a GM to GM engine swap / conversion.
The engine fits perfectly and looks like a factory install....they made the frame ready to hold an LSX V8.
Light, Nimble, Fast, Great Looking, Super Exclusive....yet has the reliability of a modern car.

This Solstice has the handling of a Miata, the big strong heart of a Corvette and soul of a British Roadster from the 60's.
People stop me everywhere I go to ask about this car. It's a great conversation starter, and everyone loves it.

Car Has 19,000 Miles (Always Garaged)
Engine has 12,000 Miles (Brand New LS3 V8 Corvette Crate Engine Was installed at 5,000 Miles)
Sport Package– 18" Wheels, Black / Chrome Trim, Tilt Steering Wheel
iPod Connection, Steering wheel controls, CD Player
Beautiful Metallic Grey Color / Black Top / Grey & Tan Interior

Always garaged, washed and maintained. Great condition, incredible value for a smart buyer with only 18.4K Miles.

$23,000

Transmission is the AX15. Handles the power no problem.
Very common in Supras, and jeep v8 swaps.

Give me a call and we can discuss any other questions you have.

Thanks

Does it still have factory A/C?
Who did the conversion?

That thing has to be a blast to drive!

Yes A/C & all HVAC, controls, gauges work perfect, like factory install.
Professional conversion was done by V8 Archie, this was his personal car.
Pontiac should have built them all like this

And yes……..its a blast. Funnest car I've ever owned or driven…...

Thats an easy decision…
S2000 (4cyl) has no torque no matter how built….and sounds lame.

This Solstice has massive torque at 0 RPM…and sounds badass.
