Turbo upgrade arriving tomorrow!!
 

After being on back-order for over a month, I'll finally be receiving my kit tomorrow!!!

Looking forward to 290hp/340tq - probably will need new rubber soon.

Yes, I would say that you probably will.

Have a date for the install yet?

- Justin

Tentatively this weekend

g

So you have to stop by on thursday and give me a ride in that thing so I can experience the before / after as well.

nicee

Awesome!

btw, how much does the gxp weigh?

Dinner later this week Craig? Oh, and I ran into Ian and he said to call him the next time we are hitting AC :)

schweeeeeeeet

nice.

awsome. I want a solstice gxp coupe so bad right now.......

Curb weight is around 3000 lbs.

g

Got the tune in last night. This thing is a rocket!! So much fun crusing up the Turnpike this morning...

g

Wasn't there some talk of not modding this one? :lol:

From being in Paul's sky redline, turbo upgrade must be sweet in that thing. Nice.

what kit did you use?

I would have liked to see that too
Factory says base is 2800 lbs and the GXP is 2900
Factory upgrades dont void warranty and in my eyes are acceptable :rofl:

I would like to get a ride in the GXP one day, and then I need Bonzo to talk me out of buying one!

The power is intoxicating. You'll never appreciate your base model once you've commanded the greatness that is Solstice GXP.

g

no you dont


you have 42 second gens, why not another solstice? you can keep this one at my house :)

If you don't already need someone to talk you out of trading in the N/A Solstice for a GXP yer doing it wrong :)

By "not modding", I meant not reducing weight in a manner that would detract from the general enjoyment of driveability. Go fast parts are okay. Go fast parts that happen to be lighter, also okay.

g

I would trade the base for the GXP so it wouldnt be another car it would replace. Scott keeps telling me to get rid of the car altogether. I do need a daily car though and this one has been cursed from the start really. I cant rely on a car that I have modded so much though for daily use, i.e. the GTA but I could be using the Solstice payments towards buying a house....

You really want me to leave one of my cars at your house, dont you? :rofl: How about I get another tent and put the 73 in your driveway and then I can get that other 73 shell and start building on that one. Then I can have 4 project cars and no where to work on them!
I really shouldnt spend more money on another car that wont get that much use when I have 2 other cars that need more attention, or 3 depending on how you look at it), when I already am not square on the loan I have and would have an even larger payment for the loss on a trade and little to no money down on a new one......
Honestly I blame Dodge for making such a crappy product. If I could have held out 3 more months when I had the Intrepid I would have had a nice amount for a down payment and an actual vehicle to trade in and I would have ALREADy had the GXP :twisted:

well you convinced me...lol. ill be ordering my upgrade in about a month, and have it installed when i get home, along with IC pipes CAI, and catback.

thought you were trading yours in when you got home?

I tried to convince myself not to buy the car since 2006 but finally lost the battle in 2008.

g

i had planned on it, but since i just ordered a 2010 harley, im gonna stick it out for a bit.

lol tooo many toys
