- You have to love the Edelbrock E-Force Supercharged LS3 swapped into this inferno orange '06 Pontiac Solstice GXP! First time out with the new combination running low 11's, there's no doubt the 10 second range is well within the capabilities and hurting feelings at the local dragstrip! Byron Dragway 8-18-18

What a great platform for that engine. Best looking Solstice I have ever seen.
This one ain't so bad. ua-cam.com/video/cuEsVkhHXqY/v-deo.html
That hood cut out is nasty. So sick.
Looks factory right
@@victoryredcolorado Hell yeah man, well done.
Thanks for making a pretty cool video of my car. If I had known, I would have washed it.
Your welcome and it looked pretty clean in the video. Nice conversion!
Very nice
Beautiful car.
What wheels are those? And what offset did you go with?
Love the car its insane. This is how it was intended to be in the first place.
That lil thing made a lot of men cry that day. Kudos to the builder and owner.👍
#lsswaptheworld
That is one amazing build right there. So much attention to detail. Absolutely gorgeous. Great job to whomever built it and great video!!!
This makes so much sense, I have no idea why I never thought of it. Great build!
Really nice integration of the supercharger lid, into the hood. Beautiful car...and a strong runner !
Lmao OG was caught of guard during that burn out. “Well I’ll be...” 2:14
Mine is only a stock gxp ,,,, but what a great running fun car. All this and I got over thirty mpg on my last road trip. 120000 miles with no problems
Honestly an insult calling it a sleeper to sleepers and the beauty of this car with its nice orange, complimentary engine and great wheels
I have a 2007 GXP that i bought it with a blown motor from an old guy who's health was failing and he was unloading some stuff. He had just put on a Hahn Racing Inter-cooler, Inter-cooler pipes and blow off valve. He also put in a stage 2 high performance GM computer chip and punched out the catalytic converter and installed a new turbocharger. Because the engine already had 120,000 KM on it, as soon as he stepped on the gas, a piston rod bent and it smashed into the bottom of the engine and destroyed it. He had only put 40km on it before he blew it up! I ordered a brand new third generation Ecotec engine (came with a new turbo as well so now i have a spare) which has a better sand cast block rather than the foam loss casting of the first generation blocks, better pistons and rods and produces 270 hp stock rather than 260 hp and the block can withstand up to 500 hp and the internals up to 400 hp. He also just had installed a new clutch, brakes, struts, exhaust, tires and battery. I have never dynoed it but i would conservatively guess 350 hp. This car is so light that it goes like a rocket! Not bad for a 2 liter 4 banger. ;)
How easy was the ecotec swap?
Supercharger through the hood, drags, roll cage... sleeper means something different to this guy. Nothing sleepy about it. 😂
Pontiac should have put a turbocharged V6 in that car as an option.
They should have put a V8 in it, great platform for a V8 car.
@@HeathsHobbyLobby Then no-one would’ve bought the GTO.
@@mitchellcole832 I disagree
@@mitchellcole832 Nah the GTO was a different kind of car, it was a usable 2+2 and had IRS which made it more "sophisticated" than the Mustang which was it's only competitor back then.
The real problem was GM is not willing to let anything bleed sales from the Corvette, that's their flagship car after all.
It was built to fit an LS, they just never got the green light to do it.
This car is sick.. if theyvwouldve made them like this factory .. it wouldve been one of the best Pontiacs ever built.. love the Valor too
So cool to see a Kappa set up to run the strip.
Hoping to see more of them in the future.
Adam Lz is putting a ls3 in his moms
Absolutely love this car and especially this build. Just wish they built this car like this from factory.
I don't understand all the hate, i really like the styling of the car and nice mod bro (: you made it sound scary awesome. Im trying to find a pontiac solstice coupe myself because i want one for a daily. Might do the chip upgrade and some better wheels and lightweight rims and audio install
I love the GXP coupe, I'm desperately trying to buy one as a collectible/weekend car
@@xxxxxtrxxx13 I got one... now i'm just desparately trying to save the money needed to get it to where it deserves to be! 95k miles on the clock but i don't think i'll ever let it die unless it completely craps out... Gonna get a new head gasket and turbo and intercooler and see what goes after that... Not sure if it wouldn't be more feasible to get the power i want by ls swapping it, but so far i've heard that the cost to do that is just way higher than to stick with the stock turbo motor and just upgrade the turbo a bit.. I don't want alot just about 400 at the wheels is good enough for me.
Have a GXP can’t wait until this LNF needs pulled...every time I feel like I want a project car I watch this vid. and smile knowing it’s sitting in my garage.
Have a few years left to get there...but at some point it’s getting pulled.
Hey man good luck on everything!
I own a GXP too only have a tune, boost tubes, intake, and aftermarket exhaust system on mine but that’s where I’m stopping haha.
When you get ready to do the swap check out the Kappa Swap group on Facebook. Its a great resource.
Did you ever do that swap?
@@marksuave25
No unfortunately I didn’t do the swap. Have gotten into some other hobbies. So my wife and I just sold it about a week ago.
Was a good car and had a lot of fun with it over the past 5 years. Take care!
wow, so awesome
Beautiful car thinking about doing ls2 swap on my 06 5spd
I'd be embarressed to own a tubbed drag car and only be running mid 11's...LOL
Very NICE!!!!
Been waiting to see this swap. The sky looks better though.
DSDF. The Sky has a modern look while the Solstice if more ole school. I chose the ole school in GXP form and stick shift of course. :) Less than 800 in mods and nothing can touch it for the $ up on mountain roads.
Prefer the Sol myself. The sky is too generic GM while there’s nothing on the road like the Solstice.
Yeah no sky for me. Nice name. But too generically conservative for me. I got the 09 Solstice Coupe in Victory Red.
gotta work on that 60ft! :)
I installed a trans brake and 2 step over the winter to do just that. We`ll be back on the track soon.
@@shawnwhittingtonjr5280 that should really smoke those losers. Enjoy. Please document 😁
Wow love it!!!
adam lz moms car next chrismas
Seriously. Those rear wheels give it away. That is one mean flyer.
My car will be ready April 2019 - 700hp LS7, T56, 8.8" LSD diff in a Saturn Sky - wanna race?
See you at Byron in the spring : )
@Joseph Jove Only mods to the suspension were BC Racing Coilovers and I removed the front swaybar. To stiffen the chassis it has the DDM Backbone tunnel brace plus a 7 point roll cage. Rear end is a Ford 9in IRS conversion.
@Cali 6311 , I've been driving my car today - 700hp is wild. Doing my basic math - at 7000 rpm in 6th gear I should attain 220mph. And I was getting roughly 18mpg average between highway and in town. Not bad for a Saturn Sky.
0-60 ?
@Cali 6311 I dont race children on scooters.
Where I can get more info about this car? Tech specs - pricing etc.
Nice
you cant truly call it a sleeper when it looks modified and sounds like it's been upgraded to a v8 as well.. should have left the exterior of the vehicle stock and attached a proper muffler to that vehicle then you can truly call it a sleeper. It would be no different that those drag cars you raced against call themselves sleepers since they are built on a stock vehicle frame and body too.
So I got an 2006 solstice... you guys wanna help me build it like yours lol
So I’m not hearing no haha
@@Dryhalf08 Talk to Dave. He did most of the fabrication on this build and can get your car where you want it. www.performanceautowerks.com/
There is no such thing as an 06 Solstice GXP. The GXP didn't come out until 2007
Google it
I can dig it
this got recommended to me after ADAM LZ did the same thing.
fuckinggg sickkkk
06 did not have a GXP they were all NAs
Just going by what the owner told me
Love the idea. Losing every race...needs to work on that reaction time.
Look closer, I won every race that day.
What can i do to have my Pontiac solstice like this one
💰 Is all it takes right👍
You put a LS3 engine in a soltice and it's still only 3000 pounds and it's not beating the 11 sec mark that's a problem and a waste of time.
In my opinion
Lets see your 10 sec Solstice.
Shawn whittington I wouldn't be putting no Ls in there if I did make one.
@@explicitchannel5549 OK, let's see the 10 sec car you chose to build.
Lmfao I'm not into a soltice I would have a car that was built a 10 second car and then make it a 8 give me your number and I'll show you the mechanics I do.
If you have a LS3 in a fucking soltice with the weight it has it should be doing 9s or a mid 8sec.
Try making a 1977 Pontiac go 7.6??? Oh unheard of? I'll show you.
@@explicitchannel5549 Cool story bro.
Thought it was love at first sight, but seen an auto so it's just lust. You know still want it just don't want to keep it.
There is a reason they have separate stick shift and auto classes in drag racing. Manuals are slower. I prefer to go fast.
@@shawnwhittingtonjr5280 I get it, milliseconds count in drag racing, But I prefer to be what made it go that fast, and not just along for the ride.
@@HillBilly-1 It's the Pontiac of Theseus up here!
The be frank, almost every Sol GXP is a sleeper. Everybody thinks it's a base Solstice and have no idea what the car is. 260bhp from the get-go, 290bhp and 340 lb-ft from just the mild GM factory upgrade, and easily another 20 bhp and 10 lb-ft from a mild exhaust and you get a 310 bhp, 350 lb-ft, 2980lb car. That's just a hair off he same power to weight as a 5GEN LS3 Camaro right there. With a moderate aftermarket tune, that same setup is a 340bhp car with 370 lb-ft. That's with not even touching the turbo with a wrench.
Vs ecoboost mustang ?
@@spetsnazrussia2446 ...what? Are you asking me how this car dompares to an ecoboost Mustang in terms of being a sleeper, in terms of tuning potential using factory components and the same car using aftermarket components, or how it compares to that Mustang in a quarter nile race, or how the two cars compare in power to weight ratios?
@@bbb462cid yeah
@@bbb462cid the ecoboost stock is faster than solstice gxp
@@spetsnazrussia2446 that's nice.
But does it split in half?
That yellow Malibu beat you up!!
TF you talking about? Check the ETs.
Does anyone know Byron Center Michigan
11 seconds. wooooo
First time out still tuning it
Please lower the resolution 144 is just too much for my computer
Time to upgrade your pc, its shot in 1080
@@victoryredcolorado Not the PC, was either connection issues or YT. It plays fine now in 10 which is ok.
I want to buy, how much is the Solstice?
Talk to Dave at Performance Autowerks in Oswego Ill.
How much horsepower does this solstice have?
It made 600 at the wheels on a mustang dyno.
Hey, could you tell me your suspension and brake set up?
BC Racing Coilovers and a Wilwood brake kit from TCE Performance.
@@shawnwhittingtonjr5280 thanks
What trans is on it?
6L90
Any one got the rims sizes front and rear
17x5 front, 17x10 rear.
What transmission
6L90
Is it Byron Center Michigan
Byron Dragway, Byron Illinois
victoryredcolorado thanks just wondering
@@musicbass4469 No problem
Sweet car. What cage are you using?
Its a custom cage from Performance AutoWerks in Oswego Illinois.
Jazz
Bruh ! how much $ you smash into the GXP ?
Too much!
Conversion for someone else to do all the work is around $20-25k
All that work to run 11s? you could've just modded the 2.0 to do that from the start..
It was fresh and first time out. Not always about the time appreciate the build hater
How original, I could have just been like every kid with a V-Tech and a fart can. No thanks. Might want to send your sympathies to the owners of the other cars in the video and all the work they put in only to get beat by a Solstice.
very slow at 0-400 for 700++ hp at the crank..
As fast as it is, it's still a chic car
Not really, your lucky to even see one nowadays
Not even close. Chicks don't even know what it is -- they only built 60,000 of them total....... They are already getting rare.
@@LakeHowellDigitalVideo and only built 34,000 Skys. Even rarer.
The base car is the chic car. My little highmileage gxp leaves a lot of people with their mouth hanging open at a redlight. No telling how it would run with even a mild tume. Just a great fun weekend car. Since im retired tho , I get to drive it every day.
I wouldn't exactly call this thing a sleeper
What would ya call it?
@@victoryredcolorado louder than stock
Interesting thing is, the Solstice/Sky (stock) doesn't weigh any less than a C6 Corvette. With an LS3, it undoubtedly weighs more.
Stock GXP curb weight - 2948lbs. Stock C6 ZR1- 3373lbs. The conversion adds around 350lbs = 3298lbs.
@@shawnwhittingtonjr5280 I think weigh less than that
@@lesabrepittman6760 you're disagreeing about this car to the owner of this car?
Interesting thing is you are incorrect. The v8 only adds a couple hundred pounds
@@ohboy2592 Nope. The guy above used the heaviest version he could find to compare. The regular C6 Corvette coupe (with an LS3 engine) weighs only 3200 pounds. The Sky weighs upwards of just over 3000. The LS3 conversion, as admitted by the same poster, is 350 pounds. 3000 + 350 = 3350, which if my math is correct, is greater than 3200.
Wow all Malibus beat you..
Fake news.
All that and with an automatic smh
I could have gone with a manual, but I prefer winning.
LoL 😂 couldn’t even hit 10’s! Waste of money!
First time out and not dialed in yet. What you got?
Still waiting to see what you`re driving Jackie boy.
@@shawnwhittingtonjr5280 Ricer no doubt 😄
@@victoryredcolorado Yeah, baddest Solstice I've ever seen. I'm still stock with the 2.4 Liter I4 with 170 horses :(
Great video of Pontiac garbage.
Like THAT comment was needed.
Haha that Pontiac garbage with an ls swap is killing your shit DODGE overpriced demon shit.
Maybe the garbage you drive would like to race my garbage 2 liter Pontiac GXP Solstice. Good luck, you're gonna need it.
