Exactly.
And the GTO was a Holden Monaro which, if I’m not mistaken, was build on Opel Omega platform.

Howie47:

Which Opel would that be? Do you have a link to a picture or video? I never heard of it.

That would be the Opel GT which has the same Kappa Platform as the Solstice and Saturn Sky. Here’s the pic: http://www.autospectator.com/uploads/Opel/2007/GT/07Opel_GT_1st.jpg

Sensekhmet: You know the Solstice is a rebadged Opel, don’t you?

fpol: Uhm, would be a waste of time to race the iRAcing (non GXP) Sol against the S2000 the Honda is in a totally superior class.

Of course I mean the GPX turbo charged version. I think about 260hp. Which would put them in same class, considering power to wait rations. Poor Pontiac, the only descent car they made. GM exects are proof that modern education is a waist. Henry Ford would have made the Solstice run the Miata out of business. Every other college kid would have had one.

carbonfibre: Is that a bit of tyre deformation or just clipping with the ground? Nonetheless, square exhaust flame glow is square…

It's actually tire deformation. The good thing is that it's more than just there visually, but it's a part of the physics.

Now i have to buy shift regardless of ‘arcade’ or otherwise. Owned and autocrosed an S2000 for 4 years – brilliant car and I need to purchase again.

BTW, it actually goes out of production this year and -in the U.S at least – had only 240hp not 250. The real claim to fame was the 9000RPM redline on the earlier (US)models, and sweet vtec kick at ~4500 RPM along with STELLAR handling that was NOT compromised as almost every other street car is towards understeer.

Uhm, would be a waste of time to race the iRAcing (non GXP) Sol against the S2000 the Honda is in a totally superior class.

Would help it go quicker if the wheels were round……

Hope there is a Soltice to race against it.
