Pontiac Solstice GXP On Speed

[namba209]

I know this is for the 2007 GT, but this is close enuff. I just saw the Pontiac Solstice GXP on Speed, Test Drive segment. I was indisposed at the time or I would have recorded it. It starts out in South Beach, Miami FL, where after an intro, they turn the car over to the 2005 Formula Drifting Champion, who is there to "test" drive the car and along comes a young blonde movie starlet, who happens to be a neighbor of the show host. Anyway, they take the car out for a drive, find a vacant parking lot and do about 2-3 minutes of drifting, with the young blonde continually saying "Oh my God", while hanging on. Later they have 3 GXPs at Willow Springs with the host, the drifting champ and a road racer, who take the cars out on the track and voice their comments, along with various barbs towards each other. Then the drifting champ leaves the track and brings his new drifting car a 600+ HP Solstice and proceeds to go around the other two cars through the turns, sideways, tires smoking, big time. It was impressive to see the GT "clone" perform as it did.

Stan Czacki, who once ran a OPEL GT in FP class on the SCCA circuit and I believe still holds the fastest lap for FP class at Mid Ohio, as most my know sold out his intire Opel Collection, to go race the Soltice in SCCA and is doing quite well last time I talked with him. I had some photos of his GT at a race in College Station, TX but can't seem to locate them at the moment.
