Got my wife the turbo SKY, it’s scalded dog fast and sticks to the road like glue, but it is a tight space!
She’s already put about 25K on it in 10 months and I’ve driven it all of 500 miles... :-(
A guy who frequents my dealer has a stock one and then another he put the 400 HP aftermarket V8 and 6 speed tranny in, that’s just crazy...
That lines up with my impressions of the Solstice GXP I drove (mechanically the same as your Sky). Tons of grip, great acceleration... claustrophobic interior (mind you, I drive a ‘91 Miata, which isn’t exactly spacious). Couple that with the lack of a useable trunk, and I’ll have to pass until I can afford a second or third car.
Also, how on earth did GM manage to make a vehicle that is only slightly larger than the current Mazda MX-5 weigh so much?
Oh, BTW, I know of at least two companies that sell kits allowing you to swap an LSx V8 into an NA or NB platform Miata.
