Svended inside out.

Kinja'd!!!

Got a new small detail brush, got so much crap out of the seat crevices and vacuumed all up. Two-bucket washed and tires shined up.

The Jetseal I put before storage seemed to have held up well under the cover, so maybe just a layer of carnauba wax after the next wash, paint is still nice and slick.

Time to whip out my 360 camera...

I didn’t know anyone here had a Kappa. Very cool. I always wanted a Solstice GXP Coupe and A Sky Redline with an LS7 swap.

I think a V8 would be my upgrade path should the Ecotec crap its pants...

Yeah that is the way to go. The videos of them with a V8 is just stupid fun looking.

...although according to some of the other Solstice guys, I have an 2006 so the walls on my Ecotec are actually thicker, so it’s a prime candidate for supercharging...

We’re already talking 250 whp vs 177 hp at the crank, lol.

I very much want LS3 heads and a LS9 supercharger on my Goat... It would be glorious!

I think you should go S/C, for the money if you blow the Ecotec you could still sell the S/C and fund the V8

I’m actually pretty happy with the 177hp, lol.

My driving is mostly in the city where even a kei car is sufficient. If only Honda would sell the S660 here...
