The Pontiac Solstice GXP has the capacity to accelerate from 0 to 60mph in 5.5 seconds and that should be enough to keep enthusiasts´ hearts pounding. Still Pontiac loads the sports car with more features that makes it one of the best cars released by Pontiac in years. The Solstice GXP sports car is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine with 260 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, dual overhead camshafts and full circle transmission. It is the first Spark Ignition Direct Injection model released by GM in North America and it provides a more efficient burning of the fuel and air.
The sweetest thing about this racing car is its sexy curves. The Solstice GXP is probably the best looking compact sports car in the market today. The designers have perfected the roadster at each angle giving this car the sleek and sexy look from all sides. The side view offers 18″ wheels and clean lines. The front looks faultless with the perfectly placed head lights cluster. Even some of the best cars sometimes have awkward rear ends but this sports car has a great looking back that screams “perfect”. It has a GXP badge, dual exhaust pipes and optional lip spoiler at the back. It has a well-designed manual convertible roof that includes a rear deck-lid that conceals the roof when it´s down. A hard roof option is also available.
Despite the car´s lusty exteriors, some people have misgivings about the Pontiac Solstice because of a few ergonomic flaws in the interiors and some design faults. The cockpit is tight and the center tunnel is made of hard plastic that can cause your right elbow to go stiff. The center tunnel would have been better off with a softer, nicer material. The sports car has very little storage space in the trunk and window switches and the center storage are ill-placed.
With manufacturer suggested retail price of only a little over US$ 25,000, many are willing to overlook the flaws and concentrate on the features. This is after all, the best roadster within the price range. Even after you upgrade to all leather seating and chromed wheels, it is very unlikely it will cost you over US$ 35,000 and that´s totally a great deal. Other upgrade options include: anti-lock disc brakes, sports suspension, electric windows, mirrors and locks, cruise control, XM satellite radio, and sporty car pedals.
Controlled by a 5-speed manual gearbox, allows for quick, smooth gear changes and quick response giving the sports car tight and steady handling. The 5-speed automatic transmission is available as an option. It has the same cruising trait as the standard Solstice. The handling was further improved with the addition of the StabiliTrak electronic stability control and torque-sensing limited slip differential.
Since its debut in the Los Angeles International Auto Show in January 2006, the Solstice is being credited for the 20% increase of showroom traffic of Pontiac. Many more are lined up for the improved GXP priced at only US$ 5000 higher than the base model, with its better transmission and more horsepower.
Beware of the highly venomous viper on the roads! Dodge has launched its ever powerful 600HP 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 Roadster sports car for the brave kids on the road. It is likely to reach the American roads in the summer pausing a survival threat for the other roadster crawlers. Thanks to the engine technology developed by Street and Racing Technology (SRT) Engineering, Chrysler Group, for offering an 8.4-liter aluminum V-10 engine for this sparkling Viper SRT10 in eight different colors.
Aren’t you curious to know its capacity of throwing the ‘venom’ on the roads? SRT engineers beautifully performed their engineering skills by equipping this fast roadster with the best engine possible on the roads by complying with the regulatory measures such as Federal Tier 2, Bin 5, and California’s Low Emissions Vehicle (LEV) 2 mandates.
Fast car SRT adopted the racer’s formula for the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 Roadster – bigger displacement, efficient breathing and higher engine speed. The exceptional performance of the Viper SRT10 sports car, added to its eye-catching appearance, is going to make new records on the roads. Apart from the interior and the exterior, Dodge offers a lot of customizable options to SRT 10 Viper owners who are crazy for cars with a difference.
The exterior of the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 will grab the attention of the snake-catchers. The fast car comes in eight different exterior colors including the slippery snake-green, venomous violet and the dangerous red. The color, along with the larger hood scoop, will make this roadster live up to its name. The eight vents provided at the hood provide sufficient airflow from the engine.
The interior of this sports car is no exception to its adventurous journey. The cockpit is fully equipped with all the instruments including the center-mounted tachometer and 220 mph speedometer. Apart from the five different color combinations offered to the interior, other noticeable feature is the bezel finish applied to its instrument panel and the console.
The cylinder heads of Viper SRT 10′s engine is equipped with computer numerically controlled (CNC)- shaped combustion chambers, and larger valves with variable valve timing (VVT). VVT helps the valves to operate automatically as per the engine requirements, and thus offers a lot of relaxation time to the engine resulting better efficiency and cleaner surrounding. Another innovation in the engine technology of this sports car is the platinum-tip spark plugs that are used to ignite the fuel mixture in the engine. These plugs are fired by the plug coils placed on the cylinder-head covers.
The advanced safety and security technology adopted in the Viper SRT10 will pump in more enthusiasm in the car lovers to possess this vehicle not only as a racing car, but as a luxury car for everyday use. The safety measures at SRT10 include adjustable pedals, advanced multistage front air bags with occupant classification system, anti-lock brake system, belt-alert, and many more like that.
The Lamborghini Murcielago is one of the best performance cars available on the market today. Production on this vehicle started in 
the early years of 2001 and the model is still being produced today. It was designed by the notorious designer Luc Donckerwolke who has designed various cars of similar origin over the years. If you are closely involved in the supercar industry, this name would sound familiar to you because as you would know he is an award winning designer and you can be confident when purchasing his designs because they are of outstanding quality.
The Lamborghini Murcielage is available in various different colors to suit the taste and preferences of the driver. No matter what color design I look at and from whatever angle I look at this car from, I can’t find one outstanding feature that I am disappointed with. The name Murcielago is a Spanish word meaning ‘bat’ that comes from a 1879 fight where a bull survived 24 sword strokes. The bull was such a tremendous fighter that his life was spared and went on to be a famous fighting bull. The body design is very aerodynamic and when you think of the name of this supercar, this model of car is the body design that comes to the mind of the average person. Such designs have also been using in various computer games including the Grand Theft Auto series.
Upon the purchase of this sports car it will come fully mounted with a monstrous V12 engine and the parts that are used are the best around. It has the typical Lamborghini layout that has remained consistent over the last 30 years of design but this model is by far the best of them all. The Lamborghini Murcielago has won countless awards since the release in early 2001 and it seemed that it was the main feature at many car shows for years on end. Although the design of this car is approximately seven years old, it has remained true to its spirit and is still a very luxurious car today. The advantage of this car over other sports cars of similar specifications and price, you wouldn’t go wrong with the purchase of this car because Lamborghini is one of the most trusted names in the business.
The feature that I really like about this car is the rear spoiler and the function of different amounts of air intake. This featured is really cool and should be incorporated on every modern supercar produced. The rear spoiler adjusts according to the speed that the car is traveling. When the car is traveling at a speed of 0 to 80 mph, the air intake system is closed. When the car is traveling at a speed of 80 to 140 mph, the air intake system is partially open at an angle of 50 degrees and anything over 140 mph the air intake system in fully open allowing for maximum cooling and efficiency. In conclusion you would not go wrong buying this car because it is one of Lamborghini’s finest and most well-known super cars.
