When we originally reported the story, we only caught a small glimpse of the chassis being put together and the mock engine being installed for fitment. Going off what we saw, we figured the 2.4L LE5 ECOtec would be putting out around 500hp with some help from a Precision Turbocharger. Well as the manifolds got bolted down, components affixed and the slag started falling off the welds, weâ??re happy to report that the â??Hampshaaâ??-powered Solstice will be putting down that much and then some. To see what the Mobil 1/Gardella Racing Pontiac Solstice is going to be running for the 2009 season, check out the full spec sheet at the bottom.

Now itâ??s not every day you get to see over 500 ponies go sideways but, if you feel so inclined, and we suspect you do, the first event of the 2009 Formula D season will be here soon and is being held at the Streets of Long Beach on April 10th-11th. If you canâ??t be there in person, donâ??t worry. Your friends at GMTunerSource.com will have full coverage of the inaugural outing for this incredible Mobil 1/Gardella Racing Pontiac Solstice.
