Saturn Sky... turbo?!?
well i was at my uncles 60th birthday party... and i was outside smoking a cigarette. Couldn't help but over hear this guy talking about how "fast" his new saturn was.. granted it really did look like a million bucks.. but it's still a saturn. He was telling me "the result" of the race if we did race.. of coure he said he'd win... but it would be close... so basically just the fact that a guy with a saturn said he'd win.. it was a no brianer.. i was like lets find somewhere to run...
so we were able to quietly escape and went to a tpk nearby.. we ran twice.. needless to say i won... but to be honest fellas.. i didnt win by as much as i thoguht i would.. that thing is light and quick... off the line i had about 1/2 a car on him... but when i hit about 85 i realized he wasn't pulling on me anymore.. so i hit the break.. im not saying that those things are fast or even in the same league.. but they are quick nice cars, without a doubt.

Yeah, it's the Sky Redline and the Solstice GXP. I think 252hp (?), and they weigh about 2900lbs I think. They are nice cars, and the Sky is definitely a looker (moreso than the Solstice, imo), but I still like the S2000 better. My across-the-street neighbor got a Sky a few months back, but it's a base model automatic

Nice kill, I'm pretty sure theyre rated at 260hp, give them some time as easy as turbos are to make more power out and rwd theyre gonna be badasses imo, id like to have one but theyre too expensive and with markups theyre just rediculous

Ya I was at a light when I pulled next to the gxp version some lady was in the car I thought nothing of it. But she gunned it once the light turned green so I said why not I got on it aswell I got about a car and a half but she did close the gap to about a car we were going around 70 mph lol. After that I went and looked up the spec's not bad at all for what it is.
