This 2006 Pontiac Solstice will be auctioned at Mecum<\/a> in Glendale, Arizona on March 16-19. The car was built in 2006 by owner Michael Jonas of SSBC<\/a> along with Mallett Performance Cars<\/a>. Under the modified hood sits a 6.0 L LS2 V8 making around 400 horsepower. The engine features custom mounts, custom wiring harness, C6 Corvette exhaust manifolds, and custom radiator. A custom bellhousing from Mallett allows the V8 to bolt to the factory Aisin five-speed manual transmission with a LUK Pro Gold clutch. The car rides on Penske coilovers and stops thanks to SSBC 14-inch rotors with 3-piston calipers on each corner. <\/p>\n
