Yeah a solstice with a LS1 would be awesome. A light 2 seater sports car with more then 400bhp why not. The GTO doesnt do it for me to heavey and such. Now a light solstice with a LS1 whats bad about that?Originally Posted by crisis

Is this whats bad about that?Originally Posted by nota
ive heard of guys cramming ls1s into miatas, so it might be possible.
But are they better? Is it skin deep they look better? I would say no.Originally Posted by Zondaboy1
You all forget that Holden only supply's around 15000-18000 GTO's to Pontiac, They deliver what they can and the original mark of 18000 was not moved back Holden couldn't do that i think it was around 16000 they could send, Plus correct me if I'm wrong but you can only import a max of 18000 cars into the U.S am i right?.
So numbers for the GTO are not all that bad when you think about it.
It's the car that made Jeremy Clarkson fall in love, And that's not easy.
Plus that 2008 GTO pic is the 05 GTO and looks terrible like that.
Just look OZ way for the next Monaro and see what the GTO might look like.

But remember the recent Torana concept car by Holden? According to Holden it rode on a unique platform which was similar to Solstice and shared suspension componentry, but had wider platform 'architecture' which did accomodate an LS-1 V8
In interviews I've read, GM-H engineers claimed that an LS1-dimensioned engine was not 'productionable' within existing Solstice architecture size limitations, which is more suited to inline motors & compact V6s
isnt mallet coming out with solstice and sky's with LS2 and LS7's in them? yeah they are.
My rides:
1999 Mustang GT
1974 Ford Country Squire (for sale!)
1991 Jeep Cherokee
1970 Shelby GT500
A specialist builder like Mallet might be able to hand-fit any engine to Solstice, including LS2s and LS7s .. but that isn't the question
Can GM do it on a production line? IE: is it feasible for mass production?
The answer is reportedly No

do you think they will bring out a new holden ute
don't know what do you think
I hope they don't build that ugly ass photochop. I heard they where going to build a whole new car for the GTO in 07'
the LS1 had 350 RW/HP and the LS2 has 400+ RW/HP.Originally Posted by rev440
Since it looks like Holden will build another Monaro then what ever that is expect to see the GTO off that. But this time from the start it will have more aggressive looks.
Think a little Torana Concept maybe?. There is some VE Commodore in that.

Should we expect a new Firebird in the future?
If GTO doesn't work for them, maybe they should try something else.
PS: How exaclty is GM staying afloat?
John Buffum was the man.
UCP's most violent member; a lump of destructive energy.
The current GTO is built off the Holden Monaro
The Monaro has been killed off again.
...I dont think there will be another model
And it was always ugly The monaro is better.
All about the t-tops
They look the same, all that is different is the Pontiac/GTO badge'sOriginally Posted by TVR IS KING
No it doesnt its 350 at the crank and 400 at the crank if you dont belive me post on ls1tech.com. Hell the new LS7 is 450+ or - whp and thats the 505 C6 z06. The 505hp is at the crank which is loss when going to the rear wheelsOriginally Posted by pAinTrAin
