Don't humor thier racing discussion. Thats more like 17-18 second racing.

Whats so strange about a 2.5l sentra taking a saturn? Whatever they come with(2.0 1.6 or 8 whatever) its not exactly a powerhorse. They are economy cars taken to the extreme.

The power button........

hey i like the performance button.. and the saturns are 1.9L and have like 127 horsepower but they weigh as much as a mini.i think on a good day they can run about 16.5

the performace button was almost as good as a story told on here once about a guy bullshitting another that the R on his auto tranny display meant RACING!

do u not believe that there is a peformance button or something?

Thd older supras, like the MKIIIs have a "performance" button. Doesn't really do anything. I believe probes have them as well. I didn't feel any difference. Its probably just a marketing cover-up for the overdrive button. Makes people believe they will fly if they push it. I guess if you have a world full of idiots, then sell stuff idiots will buy. The only power button I have is the pedal on the right. Not much there either.

your not suppose to feel any kind of boost it just allows the tranny to shift at higher rpms and when it does it shifts hard,sometimes chirping the tires.i have drove one and yes there is a difference.

Simply shifting at higher RPMs won't necessarily make you accelerate faster. Once you hit the peak of your power band you need to shift. If you don't you're simply wasting time when you could be putting more power down and accelerating faster.

alright so if u had the saturn and u were goin to race someone would u turn on the performance button?
i've notice when i raced against my friend that he pulls harder at higher rpms when he uses the button.

Well, I would do some serious testes to find out which is really faster, using the button or not using the button. I'm not saying that is doesn't make you faster, I'm just saying that it might make you slower depending on when it shifts.

I thought most of that stuff was controlled by the car. I drove a V6 camaro and it shifts higher depending on how much you press the throttle. Once again, I think the performance button is there to sell the car.
