Car is running 17psi with a full ECU re-tune complete with 7k rev limit.

a few upgrades.....

They should have made the SRT-4 All Wheel Drive

2drStunner · 01-05-2007, 11:06 PM

i agree 1000%!

OMGz Turbo · 01-05-2007, 11:10 PM

that would make for a interesting ride.....i even wish it were RWD at times lol

TGilb2007 · 01-08-2007, 10:51 PM

Yea....from what ive been hearing, the sc and the motor have been able to run pretty strong w/ supporting upgrades. And Saturn is also staying away from its "tupperware" image, and heading more towards European design. So.....imagine Opel, just badged as Saturn in the US....

My girlfriend's previous daily driver was a SC2 and that car was very capable in supporting mods and had a responsive chassis. People were throwing basic turbo kits on them and were pumping out 12-13.0 sec 1/4 times. The car weighed 2185 pounds which helped.

Saturn has strong alliances with Saab in their chassis and drivetrain development

The new Saturn Sky that will be available in turbo is hot too and has gotten rave reviews so far. Put some deep dish black rims that absurdly heavy on a silver one and drop it an inch and a half and your set. Ride it out for a year.. then when the aftermarket tuners develop turbo upgrade kits and engine management systems for it pump 3-4k in it and you'll be set.

I second the above post that they should have made the SRT-4 AWD. I mean originally I thought the 4 after SRT meant AWD.

I've always loved getting the "Oh it's only a Saturn" comment.

+1
my car isn't the fastest out there by any means, but it can embarrass a fair share of cars, and even if i lose, i normally get a compliment.

Sure, but now I have to deal with "It's only a Saturn" when i'm driving the redline and "It's still a neon" when i'm driving my SRT. Lol.

But to see the look on thier faces after I stall the neon out at about 2k and then jump the light so fast they can't even hit the accelorator...

Soon she will be back on the road stronger then ever.

On the other hand, Redlines look better, but their interior. WTF is up with that, mates?

And I wouldn't touch a Cobalt b/c it reminds me of a Cavalier. Oi. lol.. jk

Nice recovery..had a similar incident with a Mustang GT a few weeks ago.

What was that about a cavalier.......J/K Lol

Can we stop bashing the Saturn brand out of ignorance?

And the IRL is lighter than the SS, but only by enough to cause a .3 sec difference in quarter times.

An IRL in the hands of someone that can drive it could easily surprise anyone.

And my car isn't fast by most means, but for what it is, it'll damn surprise your ass, and it will be even more surprising when I do the manual swap.

So when are you finally gonna come out and autocross with us?

2drStunner · 02-04-2007, 09:36 AM

Wow the saturn guys are coming out of the woodworks! lol

I will be the first to say any car can be fast but i guess i didnt expect it from the car i raced!

adamkob32 · 02-04-2007, 11:43 AM

You've got that right hahah. If the coupe I am building doesn't work out for me in STS this year, I'm gonna be building a forged motor and running a turbo setup on it over the winter. Just make myself a nice and quick street car. Should be exciting.

Im like holy sh*t and punch but we catch a red light which is cool cause id rather not go to fast on the whp! I figure its better just to beat him up to about 60 and let off. So im like its on now!

light turns green and i spin like i always do and grab 2nd at this point hes got about a lenth on me. What surprised me is that it took me till about 70to catch him! Very nice sleeper completely stock looking!

But moral of the story is that he still lost! HAHAHAHA
