Weight reduction and turbo hard pipes front mount intercooler upgraded injectors and boost controller. You will have more options to upgrade on the solstice. Plus with a simple wheel and tire change you will change a good amount of turn characteristics for the car. Initial turn in is mediocre at best on the solstice but thats completely due to tire selection. Like I said. The solstice has quite a bit more growing room. Plus the ecotec is an amazing engine."

makes sense to me - what he's getting at is that with a factory turbo car, big power mods are cheap & easy. The S is very hard to get a jump in power out of funless you ADD a FI system to the car.

The top down/top up procedure of the Solstice/Sky are enough to put it on the fail list for me tho....

Great, now we get a fresh batch of FAIL.

BTW, a NA Soltice > S2000 for those of us who didn't know. Also, apparently we have no torque.

Yea, you didn't know that?

That's why everyone has been swapping the GM 3.0, 3.2 and 3.5 into there sandrails.

Oh wait those are all Honda engines....

As soon as the colbalt was mentioned I was done. Really if you can't afford the S2000 to bad for you but don't try to convince anyone that the solstice or sky is a better car than the S in anyway.
