First, Saturn sells a FI car
Second, a Saturn could beat me, I would let it happen, I'd whip out the .357 before he'd even get a car length ahead
LOL - .357 is the ultimate mod. Originally Posted by Jtrain

Same here. I always try to do some sort of gesture like flash my beams or give them a thumbs up if I pass them while they are stopped at the side or something like that. Originally Posted by Alan

I just guess there isnt the same comradery as I get in my vette. Just about ever vette owner will wave to each other. Its kinda cool
LoL ya it was pretty cool, he gave me the heads up and threw up the two fingers (peace), all the other times i tried doing that i just get a mean face back (when they are not looking i give em a middle finger) WTF Saturn has a FI car?? thats funny, didnt know they made that car, it looked nice, but it still had a Saturn badge on it.

Anything is possible....think about how cheap the car is, leaves plenty of cash to mod it up (not what I would do, but still possible)Originally Posted by Jtrain

I wondered if there would be some of this over here at the G forum, where people make assumptions about what their $3X,000 car can do.
The sad truth is that there are now a number of < $25K "pocket rockets" that will take the G down with just a few bolt-ons. The Saturn Ion Redline, Dodge SRT-4, Cobalt SS, WRX, etc. are all good examples. If you wanted to be a successful streetracer, the G isn't really the car to buy. To echo Sarcasmo, my WRX with its mods would have destroyed my G from 0-60 and in the quartermile, with a good launch. Once up to speed, it would be an interesting race from a roll.
But I don't care about streetracing. I bought the car for it's wonderful blend of aesthetic beauty, speed, handling, comfort, luxury, reliability...
If I'd wanted to play racerboy, I'd have gotten an STi or a used Cobra.

Why would anyone even CONSIDER racing a Saturn or a Civic? It's a no-win situation for the G driver to begin with.
If you beat them you were SUPPOSED to beat them. If they win, that's even worse, it's embarrassing.
