I think if they do make a Redline version of the Sky it will be supercharged rather then turbocharged. GM already has a S/C version on the Ecotec in the Cobalt SS and Ion Redline. I also think it will be longer then 6 months but I hope I'm wrong

My dealer tried to tell me today the Solstice will also come in a turboed version...I sense he may be wrong...but it seems possible!

I found this forum/info web page for the Sky which has some info on it.http://www.skyroadster.com/forums/The more I look at the Solstice and Sky, the more I like them. REALLY like the idea of a traditional engine layout/rear wheel drive. I had a 75 MGB that was a blast to drive, and I can imagine the Sky would be even more fun with 2x the power.

Well, I've got two bits of info here for all of you. The first is the spy shot of a turbo Pontiac Solstice in testing & development camo:http://www.lsjtuners.com/viewtopic.php?t=83Secondly, I had a chance over the weekend to take a drive of a non-Turbo Pontiac Solstice, it was one of GM's engineering test cars but was about 99% what the finished product will look like. I wrote a review about it, it's on the front page of Solstice Forums:http://www.solsticeforums.com/
