My dealer said that if I wanted to get an idea of the performance of the SKY motor, I should test drive the ION QUAD 4 coupe. I am waiting for dealer to get another one in to check it out. The same motor is being used in this vehicle. Has anyone heard anythingm along this line? ERNEST

The point has already been made, but there are some Ion's with the 2.4L ecotec. They have a "2.4L" badge on the trunk. The engine is also available in the Cobalt, HHR, and Pontiac G6. However, all four of these cars are front wheel drive, generally heavier than the Solstice, and the engines have been tuned more for economy where the Sol/Sky's engine has more of a performance tune. So although performance will be similar, it won't be exactly the same.
If you really want to try it, see if you can find a Pontiac dealer who has a Solstice available for a test drive! Not all dealers will due to the really limited quantities, but there are plenty of people who have been able to get a dealer testdrive too. It at least wouldn't hurt to phone around. (Or ask someone near you who is on Solsticeforum for a drive!).
