Pontiac Solstice With Mallett Conversion With Ls2 Motor on 2040-cars
Chesapeake, Virginia, United States
Looking for a fun and fast car? Then this is the car!!
This is a 2007 Pontiac Solstice that has a Mallett Conversion. This is a one owner car. The car was bought new in 2007 and sent directly to Berea, Ohio to Chuck Mallett, who was backed by GM to make these cars a 400 horsepower LS2. That's putting all of the horsepower of a Corvette into a Solstice using genuine and official licensed GM products and making this little monster go 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. The Mallett conversion on this car included: GM 400 HP LS2 V8 Engine Luk Pro Gold Clutch Assembly Custom Modified Shock Absorbers Corsa Stainless Steel Mufflers Custom 2 Core Aluminum Radiator Polyurethane Rear Arm Bushings and Differential Mount Carbon Fiber Coil Covers, Aluminized Carbon Fiber Mallett Body Graphics & Seat Embroidery Mallett Custom Number Plaque & Badging GXP Rear 2 Outlet Fascia Upgrade This car was number 5 for the 2007 year. This car is super clean. Always kept in a climate controlled garage. Has never seen a drop of rain. Has never been smoked in. Has never had a drink or food in it. This car has never been in any accidents or had any problems. This car has not been abused or tortured in any way. Nothing has ever been replaced on this car with the exception of what Mallett changed and was backed by GM to do so. There are 1,816 miles on this car, making it one of the lowest mileage Mallett Solstices there is, if not the lowest one. Car has had regular oil changes. Car is well documented with all paperwork, including but not limited to: purchase agreement from GM dealership when bought new, owners manual, pictures of car when bought new before being sent to Mallett, all Mallett paperwork for the car, pictures of car at Mallett's during the conversion, inspections, etc. This car is meticulous. This car is fast. This car is not for the inexperienced driver. This car is not for the average Joe who wants to own what everybody else owns. If you want a clean Pontiac Solstice, if you want a low mileage car, if you want a car to add to a car collection, if you want a Mallet, if you want a well documented car, if you want a one owner car, if you want a Sly car, then this is the car for you!!

Owner has the right to cancel auction at any time if car is being advertised outside of EBay and sells through another entity before the end of the EBay auction.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
