At the 2006 SEMA Show, we saw more than a dozen SKYs and Solstices in the booths, a sign of good things to come. While walking the show, we identified more than 40 modifications that are either designed specifically for or would work on the Saturn SKY, and in coming months we hope to profile as many of these as we can.
The theme of this year's SEMA show was American Muscle, and at the keynote luncheon, GM distributed a poster about the history of the horsepower, culminating in 2007 with the Saturn SKY Red Line, Pontiac Solstice GXP, and others. While many may have not seen the SKY as a "muscle car" before, if you look at it from a pure power-to-weight-ratio perspective, the SKY can certainly hold its own with any of our most famous muscle cars of yesteryear.
The poster features two cars from the 40s, ten from 50s, and EIGHTEEN
introduced in the 60s, and then only FOUR more between 1961 and 2006.
Now, in 2007, GM is showing off six new high-performance vehicles,
including the Saturn SKY and the Pontiac Solstice. On our site, we
have a high resolution copy of the GM Evolution of Horsepower poster that you can zoom in on.
