NEWEST NEWB 12-30-14
« on: December 30, 2014, 11:48:34 AM »
Hello from NY!

I guess I will be one of the last members of the year to join. I am a member on Solsticeforum.com as I have a 2008 Solstice GXP. I have used this forum and the solsticeforum for a ton of information that has already been put to use during upgrades, finding upgrades, dynos, data. I am glad to see that there is such a huge support group for these cars and I plan to do some heavy modding in the near future. I will do my best to write up anything that I work on and have pictures to support for anyone looking at updating their powerplants as well!

-Carter
