I haven't researched it really at all, but what I did gather was strength, and being able to handle the abuse. Sounds like they have it covered

Ordered the Solstice: Black with leather, steering wheel controls, A/C delete (who needs A/C in a convertible). Custom turbo kit, maybe!

It will hold similar power to a Viper rear end, 3.73 gearset out of a Cadillac CTS-V and the same Quaife diff that Rhys Millen uses in the Redbull Solstice drift car.

Those brakes are from Rotora. Rhys Millen uses them for his drift Sol.

Personally, I think the picture looks great. I could imagine how nice it looks in person. Now you have to show us that gauge cluster in action.
