2006 Pontiac Solstice | Tony & Theresa

This is not my 2006 Bullrun Solstice. This car has been a featured SEMAcar 2 years in a row and was just recently cast on the television show"Bullrun" reality tv on the speed channel. The car was also on the setof the Fast and the Furious 4 as a background shot vehicle.

Thecar was originally built by Rick Bottom motorsports for Eclipse audioand was featured in their booth at SEMA 2006. It then was purchased byHahn Racecraft for their turbo system product development and currentlyholds the record for the fastest ecotec powered solstice boasting over440 hp and a 1/4 mile capable of an et of 11.90.

The car featuresa Hahn Racecraft Stage IV turbo system with 20G turbo. The valve trainhas been upgraded with stiffer springs and retainers to handle the 20+psi of boost on the stock 10.5:1 bottom end.

These ecotec engines have proven to handle double power gains over stock on the stock bottom end.

Thecar features 19inch Konig Privat wheels with Dunlop SP9000 rubber. Ithas 2inch drop eibach sportline springs with matching eibach upgradedsway bars. A stage IV custom clutch setup gets power planted to therear wheels and SSB Big Brakes kit boosts the stopping power.

I love these little cars. Wish we had them here instead of the S2000 and MX5. Very impressive power too. Looks like it has some very strong variable valve timing?

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
