Up for sale is my SCCA Solo prepped A-Street Prepared Solstice GXP. Very well known and proven to be a top competitor nationally. This car can be the car that breaks the AWD domination of ASP (driver just needs two good days )! Locally this car can easily (and normally does) take top PAX.
The car is also very reliable for ASP. No worry about busted transfer cases or blown transmissions (like it’s AWD competitors). It is stout and takes a punishment. Probably the lightest car in ASP at nationals, 2,750 lbs.

Quote from Co-Driver Tim Moyer:
"I have to just say, this is easily the best car to just hop in and go fast I've ever been in. It's intimidating until your done with that first run, once your feet are wet, and realize how much grip it has, it's easy to find the limit, and easier than anything I've driven to flirt with that limit in all aspects. I really REALLY appreciate Alex giving me the opportunity to co-drive this car for the last 4 years. I couldn't have asked for a better prepped more reliable car at such a bonkers prep level. The reliability and price to play for the type of speed this car delivers may only be matched by the CSP miatas (and really. who WANTS to drive a miata?) not to mention the class act that the ASP community is, they really are a blast to compete with."

Quote from Heyward Wagner:
"I think this is the best tool for the job of autocross I have ever driven."

Sorry to see you leaving the kappa community.  What is your new ride going to be?

[DrJones]

Sorry to see you leaving the kappa community.  What is your new ride going to be?

Never said I was leaving

[GXPinKC]

Never said I was leaving

So, what's up?  How could you part with your 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP? 

[elff]

You and SOB are both selling?
Is that a coincidence or is something else going on?

[DrJones]

Must just be a coincidence. I didn't know he was leaving.

[elff]

On Skyroadster he is selling his Koni's and mentioned on here that he is thinking about selling streak[That is the name of his Sky]

Sooooooo
Watcha got up your sleeve?

[Critterman]

I see said the blind man.  Guess you will tell us what you want us to know when the time is right.

[GXP_Matt]

There's also a picture of this car in the latest GRM issue!  Sorry to see you switch out of ASP, I was hoping you would beat those Evos one of these days.  Time for an FP build?

[snaponbob]

Attempting to part out the Sky, put it back to stock, clean up the Solo bruises and sell it. Had NO idea Alex was selling his car, but a 2000-2200 pound GXP will be crazy.

[DrJones]

Minimum weight for an FP GXP is 2397.6 lbs w/10" wide wheels add 100 lbs if you use wider than 10"

One reason I don't really want to sell the wheels is I can buy new inner halfs from CCW which will make them 10" wide and I'll be able to get rid of the 1" spacer in the rear then too.

[DrJones]

updated some things

[elff]

Since i know a little about trailers I'll give you a plug. 

For those looking for just a trailer, that is an awesome deal.  I found a leftover 16' trailer and paid Over $3000 for it.  New, this trailer would be $4000+
So $2250 for an 18' trailer especially with the additional goodies is a fantastic price!!!
It's 50% off

[Kelu]

Free shipping?

[Sol Asylum]

Free shipping?

And where do you plan to park the trailer over there?

[Kelu]

I got a parking space next to my block, after 10 years of waiting since I live here, whoooohooo. Of course wife is coming home sooner from work and my place is taken 

[Sol Asylum]

Yeah but remember she let you go to the mod meet.

[DrJones]

Bump and Update
2012 NWOR - 1st in Pro and 1st overall (might have 2nd place for Pro and Overall, one more event for co-driver to seal it up)

[DrJones]

Bump!
If it doesn't sell for this price (or very close to it), this car will become the FP car!
Doing some simple math there isn't much of a price difference either way I do it. Prepping this car saves a lot of time too!

[elff]

I personally think you should prep this car and not sell it.

You are already familiar with it and drive it great.
and
Anyone interested would probably try to undercut what you want for it.

[Critterman]

^what he said, someone who knows what they are doing has to represent!

[DrJones]

Just hard to think of cutting the windshield off this one

Hello, not sure if its applicale to your situation. But were making a wide body to GT3 regs, 2'' wider in the rear and 1 1/2" front with ground effects on the side. Still working with another team on the overall look. Thanks Norm

[LatinVenom]

I have to agree also.
Use this one, it has everything going for you with no cons that I can think of.

[Gentleman Jack]

Hmmmm. A black and red paint scheme on a solstice in Norms shop...  Familiar?  I think so.


Dr Jones,
Huge congrats on the victory for the year!
