This may be a silly question but is the manual the same for the NA & GXP ?

Not silly at all, yes the manual is the same, and covers both the Solstice and Sky, all models.

Just an idea....the 2007 manual just says Solstice and the 2008 manual says Solstice and Sky. Maybe the addition of the sky added a 3rd book?

Does the 2007 manual also include the Sky?

Not sure, but I agree, maybe something to do with the Sky but not sure if the platform is the same. But it hardly fits in the Flat rate Shipping box. I almost thought I was going to have to increase the shipping due to the size of these books.

Remember the 2007 Sky came out months before the 2007 Solstice. So wouldn't surprise if they were on different printing cycles, and therefore used individual manuals. 2008 would be the chance to sync up, making the 2008 manual larger.

Does it have the electrical schematics? Helms says the 2008 manual does not have schematics.

alphajesse received an email from Helm that the listing is incorrect, the Solstice manual is not loose three ring binder and it does include electrical.

See their post #14: Has anybody ordered the '08 factory service manual?

CreateEngineDepot's picture appears to show a traditonal manual set up with electircal.

Are these different than the ones that Helm will offer? (written by different folks?) The front cover sure looks different. Like Helm prints the "official OEM" manuals, then Chiltons / Petersons comes along and regurgitates it into "me too" manuals?
