Sad to say I've been doing some serious research on the Pontiac Solstice GXP Club Racer and may just lick the Crossfire to the curb.

The group at GM had the foresight to really support this vehicle for SCCA Club Racing and the ever growing Tuner Culture. It seems that in the short period of a year there is a slew of affordable aftermarket performance product and aero kits, with more being developed. And their efforts are paying off, there is a pre-order waiting list of 9,000 GXP's.

Based on the Solstice Forum, there is also a huge group of owners who are already starting to race the N/A version of the car in C Stock.

And with the introduction of a full race ready 325 hp dual supercharged version with a 5 speed manual transmission ready to hit the market in 6 months for less than 30k, I may just say signora to my Crossfire.

There is a bounty of every performance product you can imagine already. Carbon fiber aero kits, performance exhaust systems, headers, turbo kits, brake kits, you name it.

 

yeah i think i'm going awd when i move out, i think a audi tt with stage 3 400 hp or a sti, still undecided. i may even go s4 style twin turbo, there's just not anything for the x fire and i want back seats, lol and awd for the snow.

 

RWD for me and I don't need a back seat... This will be strictly for racing purposes... As soon as they officially green light the GXP Club Racer I'm ordering one stripped down.

 

Well its not A R I C E R.

 

HDDP,
All I can say is I hate to see you go. I have been a member of this forum since last Oct and I enjoy reading your posts on your racing of the Xfire. I understand your reasons for going, but imo this forum will not be the same when you go.
