I just did some looking up on this Redline. I know its a Saturn but its pretty bad ass. This article says they underated it at 200 hp 149 lb. ft. They dynoed it and got 197/169 stock....That is pretty impressive for a Saturn. Looks like they did some homework making this car...

Its actually better then the Cobalt SS.
I test drove both back when I was doing the articles for the forum. The Redline has Recaro bucket seats and a much more fancy interior. Its also lighter then the Cobalt, its enough to run it out in the auto X and the track.
I said that I would really like the Redline if I was 35 years old and had settled down enough to not need a sports car. The Cobalt was such a dog that I didnt even bother to write about it cause it was just too boring,

No that Ive seen Jin's Redline in action Im even more drawn to that car.
Its just so mean with only a pulley and fuel management.

Plus Jin is asian so thats instant 20+whp.

Actually Mushashi, no one knows why, but the Cobalt SS actually pumps out more ponies then the Ion Redline. Take a look at Jayson's dyno numbers compared to the other dyno that you saw for a Redline. You'll see what I mean.

Yeah untill it breaks! fucking DSMs are so goddam prone to blow up! I cant wait to get rid of mine.

and no that wassnt my 3000GT in the vid. That vid was shot in Louisiana. He is about to retire from the Air Force so soon enough he'll be down here with that Saturn and then we can run it against the Goat.

^^^^^I will have to agree with you on that one....thats what you get when your the king of cheap speed....but if built right it can hold its own....and I really wouldnt bother racing your GTO against that redline.....it would be a murder, death, kill (demolition man)....but then again your driving sucks so never mind and lets get this on a vid.....lol

Wait does that Asian mod apply to all asians? cause i'm part chinese, if it only applies to japanese than damn and Jin wouldnt get the extra 20 whp either cause hes not japanese like Junya is, Junya's 350 gets a definate 20whp extra and a balancing bonus of 100/100 weight distribution.

lol. that was a funny vid. its a saturn. everyone is scared of the saturn redline. lol. gave gs-t a car head start, and just reels him in. if they share the same trans as the cavi z24, 3rd gear is a nasty gear if you had boost or nos.

btw, i thought it was 50/50 not 100/100????

it is 50/50 but because he is japanese it becomes 100/100 so it will always have balance no matter what happens.

redlines are nice, i was going to get one instead of the cobalt, but the one i wanted was sold.

They are identical to the cobalt engine and transmission wise, interior is different and the ion weighs a few pounds more due to the extra doors. I have the recaro bucket seats in my cobalt, it was an option for all the 2.0 LSJ engines, G85 package, came with the seats and an LSD for 1500 bucks, really worth it.

My friend has a cobalt ss s/c with the G85 Package. Love the seats.. it's real nice. He has the intense motorsports stage IV kit with the 2.5" pulley, cobalt addiction 3" intake, zzp tubular header, zzp 3" non-cat downpipe, and 3" exhaust.. it's pretty quick! He was putting down 275whp before the header/downpipe/exhaust.

Here's a race I had with him..
