Ah, you think I am kidding, well no, we can always dream...I already am living my dream by being able to drive our early build 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP and prior to that our Victory Red 1995 Pontiac Firebird Forumula with the big V8 engine! So lets see...what is your dream?
First, to get back to the title of the thread above...if you subscribe to Automobile magazine there is an article written by Jason Cammisa entitled "Ultimate Fantasies, Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, the intersection of fantasy and reality" beginning on page 40. First, it is a very interesting article and second, the Ferrari from the side has styling that mimics our 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP and third a vacation to Itally might indeed be a blast!
Now, to get your interest up... a few stats...

Now, I was impressed and the similarities are fun to check out, uh the cover of the magazine shows it and at first my quick look caught me off guard, I mistook it for our 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP. Oh, my goodness we are so blessed to be
able to drive our Kappa's every day that looks and feels like a FERRARI!
Bring it!!!
