Chuck Mallett told me he was involved in the development of the Kappa platform. What did he do during the design of the car? He also told me he was involved in the build of the Hot Rod Solstice.
Chuck Mallett and/or Mallettcars was never involved with the development of the Kappa platform. Perhaps you misheard him. When I met Chuck, it was the first time he drove a Solstice, and was at the first 1000 delivery party in August, 2005, when the development of the car had already been finished. His first attempt at swapping a V8 into a Solstice was on VIN 6Y000206 in late 2005, well after start of production. I was partially involved with the Hot Rod Solstice, and can tell you Mallettcars was not involved in the development of that car, either.
