I don't mean to **** you off, but just saying "im a mechanic at saturn of arlington" doesn't make you a qualified expert on everything. Also, if this was a C5, which you claim, how did it only put 282 rwhp? I'm not trying to start anything, because I'll admit I don't know jack about Saturns or the Ecotec. I'm just saying that being a Saturn mechanic doesn't automatically give credence to your story. Post up some numbers, maybe a dyno sheet, give us a better idea of what you're running, maybe use some punctuation or proper grammar. (Bad grammar is a pet peeve of mine.)

A lot of money could be made off the ignorance in this thread..........
Nice kill! I'd like to have one of the Sky Redlines. I saw a stock one hit 235 whp on a dyno and it was completely stock. I'd still be tempted to do the LSx swap on it though.....

My sister has a Cobalt SS/SC It's got a stage 2 super charger and exhaust. It's got some ***** but I seriously doubt it could take a vette. Unless it's one of those crappy ones from the 80's or whenever it was they had no power. It might give my car a little bit of a run cuz I'm a 98' Trans Am A4 with and exhaust and Ram Air hood. Nuttin else. I personally think the Cobalt is the better of the two but idk it sure as hell looks way better to me.

good kill for the ion on the vette. Trust me these little cars really wake up with smaller pullies. Right now I have a CA stage five kit and methanol injection on my cobalt. This thing really pulls now. My friend with an m6 98 t/a won't race me because he knows that he'll lose. That's not saying much because he's bone stock but for a daily driver that gets 27mpg city and 36 highway it's pretty impressive.

I am not one of those stuck up vette owners who thinks they cant be beat. I had a 00 trans am for a few yrs until it was totaled. I just cannot see a saturn making that much HP n/a. My lil sister has one and it's not the race type car at all.
Are the new ones turboed? my sisters is an 06

Seriously though, I agree with what you said. A decently bolt-on modded Vette putting down 282? On a Mustang maybe. Maybe.

dumb **** if you are running stage 3 its a 2.99 pulley stage 2 is a 3.06 pulley. A ported tb won't do **** for our cars cept mess up your tune.If you are running a 2.8 pulley you are retarded your car is starving for fuel enjoy a blown motor. As far as my mods you would not come close, come back when you trap 85 or more in the 1/8th... o wait that was with a slipping clutch haven't gone since probably better traps in it then that.

Yeah, That was a guy named Ion, who was won of the starters of turbocharging the first generation s series saturns. He took a sl2 and figured out a relatively simple and safe way to rig up a turbo. So far the fastest car in the club has like a high 11 second 1/4 mile. A lot of other guys have low 14's and and low 13's, but can't get very good 1/4 mile times because they are so light and geared too closely... when they have that much power, there is no grip. The cars only weigh about 2200 to 2500 pounds, so even with 160 horse, they'll keep up with lt1's.
I used to have a saturn and actually managed to get a 15.6 out of it with an intake and exhaust. I was whooping vtec honda's all the time at lights. They would be like "what the f***, your saturn is hella quick." The cars are just so ugly that no one wants to modify them, but they react very well to mods. Guys were getting high 13's 1/4 with 115mph traps an street tires. Hell, I kept up with almost any sports car until the end of my second gear, which was 50.lol first went to 25mph. The close gearing is what gave it the illusion of being fast. If the saturn was geared like the camaro ss it raced in the video, it wouldn't have taken off as quick as it did. But saturns are true sleepers in every sense, but the ion redlines are slow as hell stock, they are way overrated.
Here's a vid...

I'm not gonna lie guys, my 95 SL2 was way more fun to drive than my trans am, but I will make the trans am fun to drive soon!!!
