They're going to offer a turbo/super ON TOP of the LS2? :bowdown:

So for about $38,000 ($20,000 plus $18,000) you get a 400 hp Solstice. Sounds good to me. At 2860lbs vs the standard Vette's 3179lbs, it would make an interesting comparison. I guess tire grip might be a factor and thus the Corvette might still be faster but at 2860lbs for the Sotstice, I don't know. What do you think? Edit: On the way home I realized I made an error; 2860lbs is with the Ecotec motor. Add the LS2 motor and the weight goes up. Does anyone know how much an LS2 motors weights? My guess is somewhere in the 450 lbs range. suddenly my comparo does not sound so interesting.

Let's make it $38,000 versus... Honda S2000 - $33,150 (base) BMW Z4 - $34,800 Mercedes SLK - $46,250

What a bargain! I just hope the chassis is up to the power of the engine and it does not twist like a Pepsi can.
