I'd love to see something with the LS-6 or even the LS-2. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

For what it's worth, AW has also reported slow sales to-date on the Pontiac GTO, here.

Last time I visited a GM/Pontiac dealership, they had one GTO in the showroom and it was marked up $3,000 above the sticker price. So it was $37K or thereabouts. Hmm. I wonder if it's still there?

What gets me is that GM has the parts bin to build some affordable performance cars and they don't.

I couldn't agree more with that statment. GM has totally left the door open for the afordable performance car. I see a good number of WRX's on the road and considering the performance they are putting out for under $30k it makes me think why doesn't GM compete with the WRX. The Solstice looks like a large Miata, if they can keep the weight down it might be a hit. I would look at one if the 170 hp came with no more then 2500-2600 lbs and I could get some negitive camber on it.
