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

[@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.

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.

[@yucannthahvitt]

7:20 I was kinda hyped until that part, that ruined it for me. But I should have guessed that from the moment you said it had a 2JZ, that's a long, heavy engine in place of what was a short light one. It is Florida though, I guess. You aren't building a corner carver in FL unless you want to be bored to death. Straight line or nothing unless you do track days

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.
