my guess would be somewhere between the NA and GXP.i would expect them to be priced in the middle range of the two,but possibly low mileage,unmolested originals would go higher.maybe a niche within a niche...

 

Comments forthcoming after I get to my other computer to do a bit of research.

Check back!

Street Edition Equipment / Brazen Orange w Ebony leather seating and orange stitching on seats ,steering wheel,and shifter boot /Split Spoke Wheels/Black GXP grill/Black Headlights/Black Body Stripe/ZOK suspension/Sport Pedals/ LSD/Premium Package/Preferred Package/Convenience Package/Carpeted Floor Mats/ Air Conditioning /Monsoon Audio / Options are choice of transmission and rear spoiler They were supposed to come with a unique VIN but from all I have read this was never verified in the final production My guess is that if someone has one for sale he can use the facts that these car were limited and ask a premium price but as we all know the bottom line is what someone will pay for a car at the time of sale

 

They made a whack of 'special' editions which normally consisted of a special colour, maybe (as in the case of the street edition) a different wheel and maybe a little badge. It was just a method of trying to sell more cars and none of them were worth any more than stock cars unless you fall in love with the colour or are one of the 'limited edition' nuts.

They did a bunch with the Sky as well. The usual modus operandi was to announce a limited edition (often 500 cars) and then not actually produce them unless people ordered them. That resulted in a supposed run of 500 being much lower - 100 or two because only that many customers wanted them.

The brochure mentions ZOK "inspired" suspension. No idea what that means.

Edit to reflect the only mention of suspension in the brochure. And see this thread where we talked about this in more detail.

Where do folks think Street Editions fall within the Solstice hierarchy, and where do you think they are headed? Technically they were a separate model and less quantities were produced. Did all Street Editions come standard w/the ZOK suspension?
As per my post they list the car as coming with the ZOK suspension but in looking for some shocks for my car I came up with some interesting information . I have found two listings for ZOK shocks one set are the ones that came with the Club Sport Package cars and just for general info they list at over $1000.00 a set they also list a set ZOK/FE3 that run around $ 400.00 a set these are the ones that came on a GXP I would have to believe that the latter are the ones that came on the Street Edition

Check the first message in this thread, http://www.solsticeforum.com/forum/f42/suspension-packages-usage-58501/, for the part numbers and tag colors for the shocks, springs, and bars for all the Solstice models and variations.

 

Sting Ya has all the features pretty correctly in his post.

The Street Edition did have a full NA Z0K suspension as verified in the following link:
http://www.solsticeforum.com/forum/f42/suspension-packages-usage-58501/

I haven't been able to verify the number of Street Editions produced, but the number that sticks in my brain is 88, but don't hold me to it if you have a better number available.

As to value, it had a $690 premium over an otherwise comparably equipped standard NA MSRP. So it might be worth a couple hundred over a similar condition, comparably equipped NA today.

All street editions were Brazen (Inferno Orange) with a black "Heritage Edition" stripe.

.

 

And why didn't Saturn offer a SKY equivalent (or did they)?

Saturn had their own Special Editions. They had a Carbon Flash SE, Hydro Blue SE, and Ruby Red SE.

Other than the stripe, they were pretty much standard under the skin.

:dunno:

 

I don't know about the Carbon Flash, but the Hydro Blue and Ruby Red also had special wheels.

 

Bill :I guess the way to find out what these cars came with is for someone who has one to jump in .I believe the confusion with the ZOK package is that GM calls the FE3 which is standard on a GXP also ZOK I know when I started to look for shocks I ran into this .As for my Street Edition info I got this off a brochure that I picked up from the dealer when the cars first came out.

 

Yep, The Z0K on an NA is different than the Z0K on a GXP. That's why you need to keep a copy of message 1 in http://www.solsticeforum.com/forum/f42/suspension-packages-usage-58501/ available for reference.

This is the ad that got me wondering: 2009 Pontiac Solstice Street Edition SKU:9Y104307 Convertible

I've seen it advertised for awhile, and remember reading a online article that included production numbers, but haven't been able to locate it again (I'll search again). There is a forum thread regarding production numbers but the exact number was never included.

What I thought that set the Street Edition apart from being another paint and sticker job was that it also included the ZOK hardware.

Thanks. ChopTop, for that link, I ran it through my CompNine Dealer account and was able to determine that there were 138 Street Edition Model Conversions as well as 138 Solstice 2009 convertibles with the Q9Y split spoke wheels.

I think it's safe to say that there were 138 Street Edition Solstices made in 2009.

Thanks again.

I believe this is a SE Solstice. Was for sale at the local Chebby dealer. I wanted to buy it but Momma said no. I think someone from Illinois came to Ohio to purchase it.

 

That sure has all the earmarks of the Street Edition.

 

Someone said all Street Editions were Brazen, but I thought I saw one posted here some years back that was bright blue with a white stripe. Am I mistaken?

 

Bright Blue with a white stripe may have been a Sky Hydro Blue Special Edition.

If it was a Solstice, it could have been a Fresh Convertible with an aftermarket White stripe.

Don't know. :dunno:

 

Just found this old post from Street Edition owner RavenSol, he also states 138 SE were produced: http://www.solsticeforum.com/forum/f11/2009-pontiac-solstice-street-edition-list-65400/

Now to get the production numbers for the SCCA SSB Champion Edition, and the SCCA T2 Champion Edition. Also known as Sticker Edition models. :devil:

Thanks to all who have contributed to this thread. :thumbs:
