Cars!
- Thread starter Sam
- Start date
My toy is a 07 Sky roadster, the best car for handling the Tail of the Dragon (love aggressive driving on the mountian twisty roads). We have a very large forum for both Sky and Sols, weekend events are long and very fun!!!
My other toy is a 67 Chev Impala ragtop, a true cruzin car.
Big ole F250 with a big block gas eatin 460
AND the Sam's club dog food hauler, a Ford MiniVan.
Hi Chili, good to see other Sky owners here.

i had one too... well sortov... i had a Solstice GXP for a bit.
we ended up selling it because it was so underpowered. even underpowered was really fun to drive.
Garrett,
There are so many things that you can do to one of the Kappas (Solstice, Sky or Opel GT) to make up for the power shortcomings. Mine runs almost 300 RWHP and I know of people that are running over 400. A little tune here, free flowing exhaust, hi flow cat, just makes it sweeter and more fun. When we get our group of roadsters together we have a great time. :icon_wink:

Most of us that have Kappas only believe in Dyno math. I would never post ricer math numbers. Of course it depends on a lot of factors, the dyno itself, altitude, weather, humidity, etc. However, mine is dyno verifed, wouldn't have it any other way. I'm running a tune on the ecm, a Hahn intercooler, hi flow cat, Magnaflow 3" exhaust, MBRP 3" I/C pipes. All of this allows this car to breathe. With a turbo we all know that is the thing that makes your car go. 284 RWHP, 347 lbs. torque. I have outrun Mustang GTs (V8s) without a problem and have sat on the tail of a C6 Corvette as he tried to outrun me and couldn't.
Badi_Dea, Looks like a Norm's hood, is it?
RK Sport actually, but I am considering buying Norms 430 Front.
So far I only have done the Hood (functional ram air), GM Tune, and CAI (purely for the nicer turbo sound)
Its nice and tucked away for winter, its damn cold here in Denver... Btw- any of you folks make it for the meet here last year?
Also - nice Sky's folks

My project car...
Mostly done interior work on it, other than basic engine part swaps like the electronics and radiator. Going to school now to become an Auto Technician so I am kinda working on this as I go along. Plan on taking the engine out to take it apart, clean it and get the cylinders ported and such. Got plenty more pics too, hah.
