   Solstice hits the cover of HCI Magazine

The May/June issue of HCI (Hot Compacts and Imports) features the Mobile 1 Turbocharged Solstice built by Unique Fabrication and Mobile 1. The featured Solstice coverage has a large Tearout Poster of the car and two specific articles on the car. I had noticed this was posted before but I thought it deserved more notice on the Forum since there was little to no comments on the first post.

Of interest to Solstice owners, especially NA Solstice owners, is an excellent article on the Hahn Stage 2 Turbo kit install. The magazine gives high praise to Hahn RaceCraft for the ease of installation and the performance gain realized from the Turbo Kit. The article goes into detail on the install with good pictures and a chart showing the performance gains realized from the Stage 2 (284 HP at the Crank); Stage 3 (354 HP Crank) and Stage 4 (447 HP Crank).

I read the article with great interest and was especially please that the Solstice is finally getting some good coverage in magazines who specialize in modifications. If you get a chance, pick up the magazine at the local news stand and read the two articles.

As we all know, Bill Hahn is one of our Forum Supporting Vendors and it is great to know his company is really starting to get some recognition from the car magazines who are discovering his company and the excellent products he provides to the Solstice/Sky community.

Good job Bill and keep up the good work!

love the mount for the fuel cell and the air shocks!!! damn i could really use a set to get my car off the ground. maybe just put some in the front on casters so i can drive the car up on lifts!

i still need some super-high res images for backgrounds. i'm going to contact them.

I think that's a nicely done car. I bet it's a love hate thing with those having served.

A little trendy in the wheel dept. I hope it's not one of those looks that getts old fast. I really like it as of now.

It"s got a Hahn kit on it. It probably hasn't been on a dyno. Mags put what the car owner tells them for feature car stories.
