User to be someone in Europe who drifted a 2JZ Opel GT and it always looks scary as f*** but that looks so much fun. I'm sure a lot of work went into developing how the power is delivered and put down, great job zzp!

Theres quite a few Solstice GXPs for cheap, its the factory hard top ones that are insanely expensive. Think they only ended up making like 1,000 of em, and they're super clean.

[@KalebMoto]

I have videos of this car from a few years ago at IDLS Winterfest in FL. The 2 step on this car is INSANELY loud! Every time the car would pop you could feel it in your chest. It’s an amazing machine for sure.

[@wallnuts7]

I just seen this car run it at the drag strip last weekend, surprised the hell out to me…it’s badass!

[@TheyCallMeMrMaybe]

GM chassis built to compete with a Miata paired with a Toyota engine, a Tremec manual gearbox, and a Ford rear end. A true match made in hell. And not in a nightmarish way for us human beings. More in a Doomslayer type of "made in hell" type of manner.

[@BC_CARS]

That’s a true thing abt Saturn owners. My sis had a first get SL2 and got into a wreck next thing she bought was a second gen SL2. She still wishes she could have her second gen to this day even tho she’s in a Lexus es now

[@Wasabi5000]

I was always in love with the Saturn Sky Red Line when they came out. I ended up with a G35 instead, which I loved for 10 years. So I never got a Saturn Sky, but i still love the look, and I always thought it looked like a baby corvette. This thing is amazing.

[@dylanw890]

This is such a cool car! I had a Saturn Aura with the 3.6 V6 and it aged so well… it’s crazy that in like 10 years you’ll probably be covering battery swaps instead of engine swaps 😳

[@stanparker9556]

Not gonna happen. Electric isn't sustainable.

[@roaddemon20011]

Pontiac originally designed these cars that's be powered by a V8. Chevy put a stop to that. I will assume that Chevrolet did not want Pontiac having something that might save them. Chevrolet has been trying to shut Pontiac down for years doing the same trick..

[@roaddemon20011]

After Chevrolet told them no, Pontiac scheduled TV show called "setup", where they gave groups of contestants Pontiac Solstices that they had to engine swap with a V8 and make it race ready.

[@syndrillical]

First off I think Paul did an excellent build. Love the video. I’ve always liked the sky/solstice. I also really dig how it’s a gm car, with a Toyota engine, ford rear end and the tremec. It seems like it shouldn’t mesh but it totally does

[@TaldrenDR]

I bought my sky redline back in 2006 and took delivery in April of that year. It was actually the first in the blue stone color, it wasn't originally available but they put a note on the order that should it come available to paint it that color. I still remember getting the phone call from the Delaware factory saying, "Hey, we decided to do that Blue Stone color, do you still want it? It will actually be the first." Fast forward 190k miles and 12 years and I decided to LS swap it. Built a supercharged LS3 motor and swapped to a TR6060 trans, which turned this thing into a beast ... but I can't drive it on the street right now because I got scammed by Norm's Fiberglass. That hardtop you have on the vehicle was made by Norm, who I paid in full back in 2018 for the full body kit. He never delivered, so my sky has been sitting without a trunk and roof since then. :(

[@TaldrenDR]

Small update, 1 lawsuit and 2 lawyers later, Norm finally delivered the hardtop.

So cool! I've always thought those would have been cool with a hard top and bigger engine. Love the build. Such a sweet ride.
