I'm a regular on the Solstice forum and I been beating my head on the wall telling them that other engines will fit in there. The problem is 99% of those people want a cheap bare bones sports car that looks cool, so when I mention the possibility a V6 upgrade they freak out because the concensus over there is the R and D cost of developing a V6 upgrade will be passed down to the base model 4 banger putting it out of range for what they are willing to pay. I mentioned a V8 engine swap that would have gotten me banned from the forum if they had a rating system like here. Don't ask me why but they are afraid of a different engine in that car. I beleive that there is room for a V8 engine swap and a V6 upgrade as a factory option. The Ecotech engine is huge for a four cylinder.
Nice work on the body mods, I've always liked the Finale. |

I love the look of this car. However I think the dash looks cheap. Will you be marketing the roster version in a kit?
Thanks

i like this car.i think it looks great .as far as the dash goes ,i think it just needs something to dress it up a bit,like a glove box or pinstripes.
take a look at hotrod magazines v8 solstice.they took it to the max and the performance it puts out is better than a 400,000$ supercar.

We finally have had the time to make a mold off of the waterfall in the PFF Roadster.
Here's what the 1st part looks like right out of the mold.

About 23.5". The "B" pillar cap is 3" above the top of the door frame.
