2008 pontiac solstice - 2 door convertible

Vehicle Description

Those letters, GXP, are important. They mean that this 2008 Pontiac Solstice packs a punch. And this one still does, as this pristine example has logged a mere 10,702 adult-driven miles. With a 2.0L Ecotec DOHC engine equipped with a dual scroll turbocharger and charge air cooler that spools out 260 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, the Solstice GXP was positioned among the world’s great sports cars. Indeed, at 2.1 horsepower per cubic inch, this was the highest specific output of all GM engines up to that time, infringing on muscle car territory. Fuel is injected directly into the cylinders with the innovative Spark Ignition Direct Injection allowing a higher compression ratio. Pontiac claimed the 0-60 time of 5.4 seconds was quicker than a Porsche Boxster, BMW Z4, or an Audi TT Roadster. In Wide-track Pontiac tradition, the company also pointed out that their Solstice had a wider track than a Boxster. The 5L40-E 5-speed automatic is performance tuned so that the car runs the same zero to sixty time whether it’s equipped with the manual or the automatic transmission. A limited slip differential assures that all the power gets to the ground. Handling prowess is built into the design, as the car has forged aluminum double wishbone suspension with coil-over monotube Bilstein shocks. Hydroformed tubes eliminate welds resulting in a high strength-to-weight ratio. Power rack and pinion steering and large four-wheel disc brakes provide performance-level effectiveness and positive feedback. A sophisticated StabiliTrak system with Competition Mode gives you precision command and control in all driving environments. Pure (Summit White) is a great convertible color, and the cloth interior is comfortable in warm or cold weather. Comfort reigns here. Unlike the spartan sports cars of the past, the Solstice is well-equipped. Air conditioning, power windows with one touch down, cruise control, tilt wheel, and a rich sounding AM/FM/CD audio system with aux input and satellite capability prove you can enjoy modern comfort and convenience along with true sports car performance. Extra care went into finishing details such as highly polished dual exhaust outlets, bright pedals and performance footrest, handsome chrome 5-spoke 18-inch wheels, and a rear spoiler. BFGoodrich g-Force Comp 2 Z-rated high performance tires complement the suspension and chassis for a sure-footed yet comfortable ride. Pontiac will long be remembered for the GTO, the Trans Am, Bonneville, Catalina, and many more. The Solstice has earned its share of fans as well. And deservedly so, as Pontiac went to great lengths to create an innovative package with performance and looks to rival offerings from anywhere in the world. This hard to find low mileage 2008 Pontiac Solstice GXP Convertible is waiting for you to enjoy.
