    Pontiac Solstice GXP 2006-2010

    PONTIAC DEBUTS 2007 SOLSTICE GXP AT LA AUTO SHOW

    LOS ANGELES – Pontiac ’s product resurgence zooms forward with the introduction of the 2007 Solstice GXP, the performance version of its in-demand Solstice roadster, at the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show.
    “The Solstice GXP pushes the production Solstice to the next level with a 47-percent boost in horsepower, and demonstrates how GM is working on all fronts to build and sell exciting products for diverse audiences,” said Mark LaNeve, General Motors North America vice president of Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing.
    Solstice GXP features GM’s all-new Ecotec 2.0-liter turbo, the most powerful production engine in the Ecotec family.* This turbo with direct injection kicks a V-6’s worth of power out of a four-cylinder engine, an estimated 260 horsepower (194 kw) and 260 lb.-ft. (353 Nm) of torque.*
    The performance roadster will feature GM’s StabiliTrak four-channel electronic stability control system. It will debut in the summer and is expected to be priced about $4,000 to $5,000 above the base Solstice.
    Solstice GXP will be on display with the Solstice, which features a powerful Ecotec 2.4L engine rated at 177 horsepower (132 kw) and is matched to a close-ratio five-speed manual transmission. The driver-oriented cockpit interior features motorcycle-inspired instruments.

    Hmmmm I still think this car's a bit sloppy on the looks.

    they have to make some before they can do anything. they're seriously behind on the current model production. who knows when they'll actually have any to deliver? this looks great, and should sell just as well as the stock.

    This is really what GM needs; a desirable, easy to manufacture and above all great looking car.

    One of GM's great designers (it was either Harvey Earl or Bill Mitchell, i forget) said that if a car looks great, people will crawl into it if they have to.

    I'd probably crawl into one of these, it might not be made for people of my stature......

    Very nice; I assume the "close ratio" 5-speed manual is the same one they currently used, which is based of a GM truck. To bad the rumored 6-speed from the Corvette didn't come true.

    i wonder how easy this thing could be reprogrammed to put out more boost?

    if you could have this thing pushing 300hp after a couple mods...it would be interesting to compare to a Evo or STi
