2007 Pontiac Solstice - Supercharged and Track Day Capable

Not mine, but affiliated. Belongs to my folks. They're retired and not running track days as much. I spent a good number of hours working on the supercharger setup and dyno tuning. Really fun car. Pardon the less then perfect pictures. More available upon request. PM me or reply here if you want to get in touch with the seller.

General Notes:

This car has been primarily used for track days (HPDE, etc) since purchasing it in 2007. First couple years of track use were with a full stock drivetrain and ZOK suspension package and car was driven to track. Supercharger and associated components were added in 2009 at 7,000+ miles.  Approximately 35 track days between 2007 and 2019. Regular inspection and maintenance performed between events. Recent-ish maintenance includes

    9/14/19 New Battery 

    4/8/18 Rebuilt Front Brake Calipers, new front rotors and brake pads Carbotech XP12, new brake fluid

     2017 Replace P/S pump and use Royal Purple Fluid

All teething issues from track use with supercharger have been addressed (clutch, methanol injection and associate tuning, catalytic converter). Includes factory service manuals and GM Solstice Performance book. All original parts included.

Wow! Seems like a steal. Are the seats in sliders or fixed in place?

Yeah, that looks like a riot!

In reply to dculberson :

Yep, both seats slide.

I really like that!

Dang, seems like a steal.  How tall before you're in peril of failing the broomstick test?

6'1" with 34" inseam just passes with helmet. Same person has 2" clear without helmet. 35.5" from seat bottom to top of roll bar. Bar fits tight to convertible top.

These crushed in Showroom Stock when they were new.  Very random and rare animal to see in such great shape.

If they'd consider selling the SSR wheels separately , I could be game. I have an 08 GXP.

I'll let the sellers know. Perhaps if the buyer of the car doesn't want/need them.

thats some serious low mileage

Have you considered putting it on Bring a Trailer? 

Low Miles like that go for a premium price

Damn! That's impressive! I remember trying to finagle myself into one of these when they were new and just couldn't quite fit. I'm 6'2 with a 34" inseam.

The OMP seats help quite a bit with clearance to the top of the rollbar.

did you have any snags putting the supercharger kit on this?  Was it fairly straight forward?

What's on this car was custom work using the supercharger and intake from a LSJ engine. DDMWorks had a kit at one time (different supercharger IIRC), but it doesn't look like they offer it any longer. 

Using the LSJ parts did require a fair amount of fab work. Some aluminum welding for bracing the intake manifold to the block, intake tube fabrication around the back of the engine, and the shrouding/covers/mounting for the additional heat exchanger for the intercooler were the big parts. There was also work to re-route A/C line with "docs blocks" components.  

Car is still for sale in case anyone is interested. 

In reply to JMcD :

well damn, It still looks like a stock M62 supercharger.  I guess I don't get why you can bolt it to a 2.4 cobalt but not a 2.4 solstice given they are actually the same engine.  I can understand there might be some tricky plumbing, but architecturally it should match up.  Right?
