The car runs and drives flawlessly, with excellent start-up, idle quality and overall drivability - it's a car you could drive easily to work every day and embarrass unsuspecting supercar owners on the way home. In fact, this Solstice has been on several Hot Rod Power Tour drives with excellent dependability and it's capable of 20+ mpg, if you keep your foot out of it - which is almost impossible! It was featured on the cover of Pontiac Enthusiast magazine, too.
To achieve 630 hp with reliability, the LS7 was rebuilt with an all-forged rotating assembly, with a forged steel crank, titanium rods and forged pistons, a new camshaft and other upgrades. It has a Corvette-style dry-sump oiling system and custom stainless steel headers with a 3-inch exhaust system. It has a high-capacity radiator and Corvette electric cooling fan. The battery is relocated to the trunk. It is hooked to a Tremec 6-speed manual transmission, using a Corvette clutch. putting the power to the ground is a cadillac cts-v rear end.
The car also has SSBC brakes all around, with slotted rotors, as well as the GM road-race suspension upgrade. The hood is a custom, one-off made in carbon fiber and the car wears the GXP front/rear fascias. Inside, the seats were re-trimmed with red leather inserts.
I took this car to a car show this weekend and im glad i did. It was the first time i have drove it and I can not say enough about this car. This is not your average ls7 solstice. This car was held to GM oem style fit and finish. If you were not familiar with these cars you would think this is how gm made them and it is how we all wish they would have.
If anyone has any questions please fell free to give me a call. My name is dave. 248-508-4093

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
