Route 66 Raceway, August 8, 2006 – Bill Hahn Jr. made Solstice history tonight by driving the Hahn RaceCraft Turbo Solstice into the 12’s in the quarter mile! These are the first ever 12 second passes for the new four-cylinder roadster from Pontiac.

Running a 12.77 and a 12.81, this amazing little car was mercilessly beating on the some of the best V8 iron Detroit has to offer, handily dispatching everything from Mustangs to mighty SRT-8’s! An astounded crowd loved the car, calling it everything from ‘cute’ to ‘deadly’.

Having previously run the first ever 14 and 13 second passes for the new Ecotec-equipped Pontiac, Bill then set his sights on the 12’s. His car uses a prototype Hahn RaceCraft Stage IV Turbosystem and clutch, with an otherwise completely stock engine and driveline. What makes the achievement even more outstanding is that this was performed on standard street tires, no ‘slicks’ or ‘drag radials’, and unleaded gas.

When asked how much the little car had left in it, he said, “We’ve pulled almost 400HP out of this Ecotec engine on the dyno, which is amazing for a stock four-cylinder. I think that with some tuning, and better traction, low 12’s or even 11’s are within reach!”

Ya I was at one of the local tuner shops recently, and the guys are said I made the right choice in the 2.4

wow, that is awesome! Sounds like this car is going to have a LOT of potential. I would like to know just what his full list of mods are. "Stage 4..." isn't all that descriptive.

thats exactly what rob ran with his 60ft. (60ft 1.9 and he ran a 12.8.)( the sky that is) now this car put down 315whp and robs car only put down 270whp. its all about getting traction in our first gear.

Stage 4 is pretty much their basic solstice turbo kit with a 20g turbo instead of a 16g and bigger injectors. Other mods are high flow cat, 2.5" cat back, and upgraded clutch, he said on those runs pushing 13-15 psi.
