This is my girlfriends dream car. She has some weird saturn fetish. Owned nothing but Saturns. 4 in total. I have to admit though, the Sky is a hot looking car.

nice, those cars look bad ass

I just can't justify spending that much on a 2-door, 2-seater, impractical car. I guess its not for everyone though. I would much rather buy an EVO/STI at that price.

But I hope to check it out because even the base model Sky is a hot looking car.

Better yet, it has forged pistons and rods which means more than enough room to go higher boost. I see so much potential! It will be scary fast with simple bolt ons. Also check this out.

It might win in a straight line or it might not since the quarter mile time is only .2 seconds off from each other but with the same driver the S2000 will definately stand a better chance at track (roadcoursing and auto-x)

I did get a chance to test drive one though, it's actually pretty nice, good choice.

Yeah, I agree with you about the handling. The S2000 will be better at auto-X. But the Redline has a different suspension setup over the regular Sky. You drove regular Sky, right?

Those look really cool, a couple weeks ago, i saw the Solstice with a new corvette c6z motor in it. Its gonna be a fun platform to play with.
