That will make for a slow 11 miles for anyone unfortunate enough to get stuck behind that...

I want to see one so we can see how it performs next to the S2000. Not for my sake ofcourse... the answer is obvious, but for those guys that are just sooo sure that the Solstice is equal in performance. Proof has to come at some point... what better place to ring them out than at the Dragon?

A better place would be at an autox! Oh, yeah, it's not in the same class as the S, and it gets spanked by Miata's

I had the chance to drive a Solstice and all I can say is the power and the handling were rather disappointing in my opinion. However, if I wanted a car that drove nice on the highway it's not bad.
