The design is dramatic, featuring a passenger cockpit tonneau cover and a driver windscreen, creating a pure racecar that looks ready to take the checkered flag even while sitting on the starting grid.

Aerodynamics have been improved and the Solstice SD-290¿s weight reduced with the removal of the windshield, side glass, window regulator, convertible top, climate system and windshield wiper system.

Complementing the design are new side fender gill panels, a new hood with heat extracting grilles and a competition red paint scheme.

Backing up the race-ready appearance of the Solstice SD-290 is the available Club Sport Z0K suspension package and an all-business cockpit filled with auxiliary gauges, a roll bar and racing seat.

Pontiac G8 GT

The all-new Pontiac G8 GT performance sedan ¿ arriving at dealerships in early 2008 ¿ is the first North American application of GM¿s new global rear-wheel-drive architecture.

The V8-powered G8 GT SEMA Edition was displayed at the ¿07 SEMA Show with a host of tuner-inspired custom touches, including a hot orange paint scheme with matching leather seat inserts, door panels and instrument panel pad.

Under the hood is the production 6.0L V-8, rated at 361 horsepower (268 kW) and 385 lb.-ft. of torque (520 Nm). A six-speed automatic transmission with Driver Shift Control backs the powerful small-block engine and complements a four-wheel independent suspension outfitted with unique 20-inch wheels and performance tires.
