yep, i love the body styling of the sky so much better than the solstice. i dunno, it's just a little more refined and agressive to me.

looks HOT! still not a bad price either!

That is indeed a beautiful car.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 4:39 am

ha ha ha! in a few years, it'll be mine! nice, stock, it runs about the same as my fam sedan does now. a little tweaking here, a little there... voila! no prob! will be a great summer/solo II car

I'm amazed at the power that ecotec is putting out. There are people that have 500hp Solstices and there was an article posted about someone using the ecotec and making a 1200hp drift car out of a solstice. I'll try and dig that up and find the dyno video.They should put the ecotec in the Vibe and the S/C version for Vibe GT and try that out and see how sales boom.

but then it wouldn't be a vibe. they'd call it something else like.... cobalt

The Sky is definately a better looking car. If I had the coin I would go for the Sky over a Soltice anyday. I've only seen a couple of Soltice on the road and have yet to see a Sky. Could be they're not out yet in Canada. Or are they on the road yet period?

tangerine · Post by **tangerine** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 4:58 am

lol, yea. It would be serious competition for the new SRT Caliber though. I should persuade our car club to attempt a swap of one in a vibe as a club project for the summer when we meet up next month. That would be hella fun, or a K20 in a Honda Fit.

Very Hot Looking!!!!

I'v never seen a Sky either, I don't think there were many made at all last year. Supposably all the Solstice/Sky's made were by order only to see how they sold.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 6:09 am

no, i don't put either the solstice or sky in the same category as the caliber srt. totally different kinds of cars really. we're talking roadsters and 2 seater convertibles vs wagon/suv style car

i see skys all the time around here, but i'm in the motor city.

Mavrik · Post by **Mavrik** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 11:43 pm

I still like the solstic better...

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 11:53 pm

me too... the back end of the sky looks too trendy and ugly! but thats just me.Ive seen more and more solstices... and i like them better.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Sat Jun 24, 2006 12:56 am

nah, the solstice is ok, but i prefer the sky body style... and Mav, you'll have your STI by then, so it's my turn.

Mavrik · Post by **Mavrik** » Sat Jun 24, 2006 1:31 am

Your going to use your turn on a summer vehicle?

I think these are better......One powered by the LS2:http://www.mallettcars.com/solstice-conversion.htmAnd Hot Rod's project powered by the LS7:http://www.hotrod.com/projectb...build/

Quote, originally posted by Mavrik Â»Your going to use your turn on a summer vehicle?hmmm.... good point..... but really, unless they come out with an LGT STI (true from the factory), then i'll be messing with the LGT and take the roadster. however, the roadster wouldn't necessarily have to be new. in fact i'd rather have a used one so we don't worry about voiding the warranty if it's going to be an autocross car. don't know yet... just have to wait and see 3-4 yrs is a long time when it comes to my car buying habits. LOL

There are already quite a few 700hp Cobalts runnin around. Crazy sheet

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Sat Jun 24, 2006 12:07 pm

yes, the sky just doesn't seem like it should be a saturn! lol. more like a chevy or some other GM product.. *shrug*

i think the sky is hot, but i like the tail lights of the solstice better.

AzFusionGT · Post by **AzFusionGT** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 9:38 am

The Sky is a hot car...haven't seen any here yet, but the Solstice is beginning to make an appearance. Saw a yellow one is LA last week. The bling-bling wheels gotta go though. They do nothing for the car.
