Well, along with Dave, Randy and Ivy at DDM I have decided to take the plunge. I have a 2007 NA AUTOMATIC Aggressive Solstice and will be the first automatic supercharged Solstice. After months of waiting, my car was picked up at my home by the transport company and will take 7-8 days to transport to DDMWorks in South Carolina from my home in Spokane, Washington. DDM will be installing their Stage 2 Supercharger, headers, hi-flo CAT and Pro-Beam. Everything appropriate will be powdercoated red to match my Aggressive color. Along with all of this, the DDM crew will be custom tuning the car and flashing the ECM due to it being an automatic. In addition, they will be dynoing the car and hopefully I’ll be able to post graphs and horsepower outputs. This should match well with my SOLO Mach dual exhaust. Concurrently, Norm is throwing in his two cents. I already have Norm’s rear custom dual fascia and fenders on. Norm is currently fabricating his rare F430 front end and sending it directly to DDM for install. The only thing left that I want to add will be RK’s spoiler and Norm’s new hood and side skirts. As time goes by and more info from Dave at DDM and Norm becomes available, I’ll be posting more info from my baby’s journey in hopes that all of us automatic owners can finally live up to the manual’s ability to acquire force induction. Lastly, the folks at DDM have been the most accommodating, professional, conscientious, knowledgeable and overall awesome group of people to work with. If ANYONE has any questions or issues on how to improve their ride, talk with these guys. You will not be disappointed. Also, Norm ain’t too shabby either. The guy has the spirit and soul of our car in mind and does the best work I’ve seen. More to come as the next three to four loooooooong weeks commence until I get my Sol back. Links to pics on my pre-DDM Sol are enclosed.
Welcome to the team, you will love it when you get it back.

Sounds like the supercharger will be great. Just hope you post photos of the body panel differences you mentioned when complete. I have no idea what your talking about with regards to changing the body panels.
Tough to improve on perfection yet I'm sure it will be quite nice.
We are anxiously looking forward to this arriving and offering all of the automatic owners a supercharger. We will be keeping everyone up to date on the progress of the installation with pictures as we progress with it.
I heard about your car while I was at DDM earlier this month.
IMO - the way the S/C gives immediate power from zero - and - the elimination of the shifting delays of the automatic vs the standard tranny.................the stage II S/C auto should be the quickest 0-60 Kappa we have seen!

Way to go, Patrick - I bet you are going to be one happy camper! I hope the wait isn't too hard on you! You will, of course, keep us informed on how it is going and provide all of us droolers with pictures after, won't you?
By the way, I like what you have done to your car. It looks really good.
Cheers

That was special just for you Carl, although I have something special in mind for Patrick's car
I KNOW I KNOW!
You are going to do all the tubing and valve cover in a iradecent Kelly green.
The car will be a natural for Christmas
