Mallett V8 Solstice?!

[stpdevil]

If this is a re-post just let me know but i ran across this little beast online and in the most recent car and driver.

I'm sort of amazed that that article says its base price is under 40k, however c&d says its base is closer to $48k. In either case its a solstice with an ls2, waht a monster that little thing could be. It even says Mallett will supercharge a new ls7 (for the right amount of money).

In anycase i was sort of amazed by this thing

up to 600hp.... damn... even for $60K+... just wow.

There is a Saturn Sky version too. Looks even better.

I like the Saturn Version better too. Thinking about getting one for the wife.

Ya the sky looks really neat too.

Redline version is supposed to have 260 Hp and 260 Ft-lbs

I find it interesting that they can fit a 5.6L ls2.... or even a 7.0L ls7 into the space where the solstice had its 4 banger. Anyone esle wanna drop an ls2 into a g35? (i know thats not really possible)... but you could you imagine a g56 or a g70 for that matter. lol

I don't see how you can fit a v8 in that thing. The engine looks like it's taking up every inch of space. I would think the interior would have to be comprimised by the transmission. Cooling looks like a problem, too, since there doesn't look like any space for a decent radiator. Pretty cool, though. I wonder what kind of performance times it puts down.

One of the many advantages of the small block pushrod V-8: lots of power from a small physical size. You could never fit a DOHC V-8 in that space.

It would probably drive like an old big-block Cobra......
