there's a young guy (about 30) who works near me and parks in the same lot..last week he informed me that his Solstice was faster than my S because he had 18 inch wheels...the following day I drove my wife's 06 auto TSX to work and had the pleasure of teaching Mr 18" wheels a quick lesson with the TSX.. he told me he had no idea that a TSX was faster than my S....can't win sometimes

However, I think the GXP solstice would put up a decent fight.
I think its going to be a little more one-sided than that. With 260hp, alot more torque than us and about the same weight, they should be good for a 5 second 0-60 time and probably mid 13's in the quarter. Just my .02.

Nice kill Ben! I hate those cars, I don't like how they look in person at all. The sky, on the other hand, is MUCH better looking. I can't wait for a Solstice owner to try to rev on me...

At least it looks good.

The Solstice looks terrible.

How the hell do you shift at 2200rpm without lugging the motor? I shift at at least 3500 when i'm just putting around.

I always take street racing stories with a grain of salt. I don't street race and I've had people pace or rev on me. They all probably thought I was beat by them because my WOT was actually just my loud invidia exhaust.

I'll bet the GXP will pull on a stock S fairly well. That torque and the light weight will make a huge difference. The GXP and Redline are gonna be pretty quick.

That's why before they are out. Everyone needs to boost up the S!
