Fast and Furious 4 Pontiac Solstice

Fast and Furious 4 Pontiac Solstice
Something just a little bit different and very special from Car Sponsorships is this 2007 Pontiac Solstice that's been so heavily modified and customized, it's hard to tell that's what it even is!

If you think it looks good you're in good company. The car's currently being used in "The Fast & Furious 4", that's coming out next year. Just what exactly has been done to get it looking this way? Here's just a few of the mods: front end that's a bit like a F430, glassed in and modified for air intake; Porsche Cayman vents, custom rear diffuser , hood from rksports, custom LED taillights and a spoiler borrowed from a Saturn Sky. The car's been dropped, has custom-painted rims and custom lambo door hatches.

Under the hood it's got a precision turbocharger, custom stainless steel manifold and downpipe, bigger injectors, AEM boost controller and K & N filter. Out back is a 3" dual pipe cat-back exhaust, and the car runs on a mix of 100 & 91 octane with a setting for 101 octane for any special 'boost controller' occasions!

Admire all the work that's gone into Paul Quintero's Pontiac Solstice

Saleen Extreme Build



BigWoodRacing.com take us to the dyno in their Saleen Extreme Build video.

First off, the Saleen Mustang spins its rear wheels and tests the 'stock' setup to see what sort of performance numbers it can muster. Given it's a Saleen, you know they're already going to be pretty impressive.

Then it's time to bolt on a few extra goodies: a Saleen extreme s/c kit, BBK shorty headers and a BBK Catted X-pipe and see what she'll do.

Get a look at the dyno readout, see the tach hit redline and watch those rear wheels spin ever faster, striving for that big HP number.

Check out Saleen S7 Competition for some drag strip action.
