The main catch is that you literally don’t get much for your cash. This Solstice doesn’t even have a roof. The extensive body alterations to these builds also affect the rigidity, not to mention a lack of well-engineered crumple zones.
On the upside, this Solstice is much lighter than the standard car, which weighs 2,908 pounds. A diet of this magnitude means sharper handling and better braking, and as a bonus, the vehicle will likely be lighter on fuel, too.
Returning to the listing in question, the build is based on the Solstice, deemed the American equivalent of the Mazda Miata. It wasn’t nearly as good, primarily thanks to a sloppy 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine that had no business being anywhere near anything sporty.
This car has 61,000 on the clock, and the engine warning light is illuminated. That’s most likely because the car is missing several sensors.
