I never thought I would own a pontiac, but this car might change that.

God, that was even more boring than one of my rallycross videos! And what's with that sewing-machine-noise and alternator whine in the background? Is that the new Pontiac making those noises, the camera vehicle, or the camera itself? In any case, count me out...

Sometimes a picture is not worth a thousand words. :sleep

As far as the alternator noise my guess is that Worldofcars has a POS for a camera car and less budget than your typical frat boy. :roll:

Can I please have that 2:22 seconds of my life back. That was the lamest video ever. I kept watching expecting the dude to eventually stop driving like a grandpa and shred some rubber, but nope, just two and a half minutes of lame ass Sunday drving. Thanks a lot Jason.

It's a video of a pre-production car. What did you think they would be doing with it, wheel to wheel racing?

Saturday when we were at Hendrick Pontiac for an alignment we were talking with the manager about different things including some sportier and more powerful cars that Pontiac was coming out with. He wanted to know why Pontiac didn't offer contingencies to Solo II already. He thinks they should with the new models being more competitive in the sport and says he'll talk it up.

Nice looking car, well, except for the Aztek front end anyway!!

I like this "cow catcher" as some of you call it much better than the final Aztec front end...

Now I'm not interested in the G8 at all.

As for the turbo kit. Any idiot can put a turbo on a car. Whether the bottom end or the drive train can take it. Well.... that's a totally different story... I'll stick with NA thanks.

This company has been doing the Commadore for a few years now with much success, so they are just sending the units to the US.
