interesting. The Vibe GT is now at 164 HP.Moon and Tunes is now Sun and SoundPower Package is now "Preferred Package, and it also now includes "manual day/night inside rearview mirror " Does that mean that if you don't get this package, you get a crappier mirror, or maybe no inside rear view mirror?

164 before lift maybe?

ragingfish · Post by **ragingfish** » Fri Sep 16, 2005 2:50 am

lift doesn't change the amount of horsepower the engine can put out.

Mavrik · Post by **Mavrik** » Fri Sep 16, 2005 3:00 am

But HP and torque is increased at higher RPM no? Maybe they mean 164 at the wheels... who knows.. but by 2007 that GT is going to have no more balls then my base 04.

Wow! Have you seen the EPA mileage decrease of the 2006 Vibes?Do a locate vehicle on the Pontiac site, and pull up a window sticker. You will see the EPA mileage figures as below:

As I recall, the Solstice trunk lid opens from the back to allow the top to go down and be completely covered. If so, I have two questions: How do you open the trunk when the top is up? (It seems that the top attaches in the back by pins to part of the trunk lid.) With the top down (i.e., in the trunk), if you open the trunk lid, how do you access the trunk, since the top is sitting there? See http://www.pontiac.com/solstice/gallery.jsp

Oh my God, the photos of that black Solstice are SO SEXY!

They're stupid. Designing a site that won't work properly with real browsers, heh. I'm pretty much crippled with Opera looking at their front page. GM, THERE ARE OTHER BROWSERS THAT EXIST OTHER THAN M$ INTERNET EXPLOITER! The front page is cool, the Vibe is completely missing from there. It looks like once I click on a vehicle, I can see stuff, but who knows how long that will work. Can't wait to see how well this works when I get home from work and check it out on the Linux box and my Mac. If it's THIS bad under an alternative browser in Windoze, I hate to see it under a real OS...

That's horrible!

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Fri Sep 16, 2005 7:30 am

i was always glad i had the 03 GT instead of any of the others. the power keeps going down and down and down. soon, there will be no more LIFT. what's the point of the GT then? boring!and yes, those solstice's look pretty damn HOT! mmmm!

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Fri Sep 16, 2005 7:32 am

Quote, originally posted by Mavrik Â»164 before lift maybe?Uhh, NO... I'm pretty sure that the numbers you see would be the maximum output, period. Not before lift. The peak values.

Know what I'm NOT seeing? No sport package.Time for the aftermarket folks to jump in.

BOZACK · Post by **BOZACK** » Fri Sep 16, 2005 2:10 pm

The Stealth color replaces the Fusion. No more orange Vibes. They will be the second rarest colors after the Envy. Knew I should have ordered the Fusion.

Didn't we go over the HP changes in another thread somewhere here? Com'on people keep up! It was a change in calculations - not physical changes As for the EPA - that's GOT to be for the GT Vibe. Or else it's a bad typo.Nah, you must be on crack - the Vibe page states:EPA mileage estimates** 30/36 Manual (city/highway mpg) 29/34 Automatic (city/highway mpg)

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Sat Sep 17, 2005 5:38 pm

That window sticker had to be wrong. That's all there is to it. I don't think that even a GT would have those horrid numbers on the sticker.And yes Vibe gen'ers, the difference in ponies is certainly due to a change in calculations not yet adopted by everyone, but GM, Toyota, etc. have done so. Same physical amount of power as last year, just a different number.
