I currently have an '08 Pontiac Solstice that I got in September. It's going to be my daily driver, even in our wonderful winter weather. So far this winter it's been a breeze to drive, though we haven't had very much snow yet. The stock all season tires were supposed to suck in the winter, but I've been pleasantly surprised with their traction. |

I knew the exhaust didn't look stock. What did you end up going with?
____
New distributor cap & rotor installed. The old ones definitely have seen better days  Startup was smoother and the stumbling throttle was smoothed out even more.

Regardless, a flowmaster attached to a v8 does sound excellent  | |

They really don't do much for power...drone inside kills me, though. | |

I was worried about the drone as well, but as long as you dont fart around with the rpm below 1500, its not bad at all.
Definitely wasn't added for power, but looks and sound.
