Mallett Camaro?

http://www.mallettcars.com/solstice-conversion.htm

Came across this "tuner" for GM vehicles when I was researching a solstice, and thought that maybe if the Camaro doesn't come with an LS3, maybe they could do some magic and put it in there. Or, dare I say, Corvette SS motor???

I can't believe they shoved all that engine into that little Car! :eek:

It only wieghs in at 2800 lbs....:eek: That'll prove better performance than even the Vette itself. Wow. Nice find.

I'm sure there will be modding companys galore that'll want a piece of this new Camaro, it's the meanest thing since the Original!

I can't believe that a 7.0L V8 will fit into that thing, but GM is selling it with nothing more than a 4 cyllinder. At least Toss in the DI V6, please....

I think they are planning on dropping the Di V6 into it, but the latest CAFE standard increase may have nixed that plan...

The entire write up is amazing, and the results page at the end shows this thing beating Lamborghini's, Porsche's, etc... by good margin!

The sound it makes is NUTS...

Pretty insane eh?

I'd buy one!

Yeah, I love the look of the Solstice. But I'm not too thrilled with the lack of V8 engine...
