sounds like fun, that thing is really small and light good handling too i took one for a test drive a real joy almost bought it, but was real slow, i think even slower than my 92 ak8rd :gotme: ---

Hmmm… You’d think it would be a lot easier to drift the longer wheelbase GTO. ---

> [@JayS](#): > > Hmmm… You’d think it would be a lot easier to drift the longer wheelbase GTO. Probably is. I bet teh more linear TQ curve of the LS2 makes the power application easier to modulate then will a high-boost 500HP 2.0L 4 cylinder. Only problem, the GTO is gone, discontinued, kaput. These solstices look pretty sweet. In a few years when people start getting the after market going on them, they’re gunna be pretty sick. Light, RWD and A LOT of HP potential. Like an s2K but with alot more HP potential. ---
