\"2006<\/a><\/p>\n

Mallett Performance Cars<\/a> built this 2006 Pontiac Solstice at their company when it was new. Under the hood sits a turbocharged 7.0-liter LS7 V8 making 750 horsepower to the wheels. The motor features a LSX intake manifold, dry sump system, long tube headers, Corsa stainless steel exhaust, and Turbonetics T5 rear-mounted turbocharger. A T56 six-speed manual transmission sends power through a custom driveshaft to a limited-slip diff with 3.73 gears. The company installed coolers for the power steering, transmission, and differential. The car rides on Penske coilovers with aftermarket sway bars, SSBC Tri-Power brakes with slotted titanium rotors, and Avus 19-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires (275\/35, 305\/30). The car recently sold on Bring a Trailer<\/a> for $62,000.<\/p>\n
