Thomson's silver Solstice project car packs a big punch - one of our 630-horsepower versions of the LS7 V-8 usually found in the Corvette Z06.
The car runs and drives flawlessly, with excellent start-up, idle quality and overall drivability - it's a car you could drive easily to work every day and embarrass unsuspecting supercar owners on the way home. In fact, this Solstice has been on several Hot Rod Power Tour drives with excellent dependability and it's capable of 20+ mpg, if you keep your foot out of it - which is almost impossible! It was featured on the cover on the cover of Pontiac Enthusiast magazine, too.
To achieve 630 hp with reliability, the LS7 was rebuilt with an all-forged rotating assembly, with a forged steel crank, titanium rods and forged pistons, a new camshaft and other upgrades. It has a Corvette-style dry-sump oiling system and custom stainless steel headers with a 3-inch exhaust system. It has a high-capacity radiator and Corvette electric cooling fan. The battery is relocated to the trunk. It is hooked to a Tremec 6-speed manual transmission, using a Corvette clutch.
The car also has SSBC brakes all around, with slotted rotors, as well as the GM road-race suspension upgrade. The hood is a custom, one-off made in carbon fiber and the car wears the GXP front/rear fascias. Inside, the seats were re-trimmed with red leather inserts.
This car runs and drives great and is fast... very fast! And you couldn't duplicate it for the asking price of $47,000.
