Sports Car Revolution

Any Speed TV fans out there? Last night on Sports Car Revolution program they finished the show with a track run of the Pontiac Solstice. A professional driver, Chip Herr ran the Solstice through it's paces on the track. One interesting feature he pointed to was the ease to step the rear out and how easy if was to snap it back in. He compared this being like a small Corvette. He added that he believe it wouldn't be long before someone would stuff a V8 into it, and the car would be really sick!

I guess he is not a reader on either the Solsticeforum or Skyroadster sites.

I caught the tail end of that show and it looked like he was having a ball! The comments he made, at least the ones I heard, sounded very positive. Geeze, comparing it to a Corvette, not too bad at all.

HEH HE REALLY LIT UP THOSE TIRES. Seems like he, thought it had enough horse power, even though he did talk about some wanting to put a v8 in it.
