saturn kill

[qr25sentra]

one of my friends had an older saturn coupe with auto tranny,it was pretty quick and had a performance button.This other guy i met had the same type of saturn but a 5 speed..i told him i wanted to run,so he got in his car and followed me to a road where there isn't anyone around.my sentra is auto so i put it into 1st and i told him to go on the 3rd honk..1,2,3 and we go from 25 to 70 mph and i had him by 5 cars atleast.. i figure he just doesnt kno how to race b/c my friend in the auto saturn did a lil bit better. BTW i am stock.

is it a se-r? what is a performance button?

[qr25sentra]

my car is just like the se-r auto but doesnt have the same look or suspension package.basically its the se-r auto with the gxe look except for the muffler ..as for the performance button,its availible on the saturn with automatic trans.it makes the car shift harder and at higher rpms.

It is very similar to what is coming on alot of high end sports cars that only offer automatic. They usually have a "sport" "race" and "weather" selection for how the auto with shift.

As far as the auto beating the manual Saturn my friend's have Saturns and the auto will beat on the manual all day long no matter how good the driver is and the manual has no muffler, gutted interior, no glass except for the windshield, and a redneck cold air intake...it's a demo derby car.

^What?!?!
I understood you claiming that Saturns have some kind of miracle auto tranny, but the whole manual demo derby car threw me off.

I was just explaining why the manual Saturn was completely gutted. Sorry if that post was hard to understand I was really tired when i was typing it.

yea thats weird huh,the same model auto beating the manuel..the stick is suppose to be anywhere from .5 to 1 sec faster.but in this case its not.

[Black97GST]

how is an auto faster than a gutted manual? or even just a manual?

[Hit_N_Run-player]

so wait...im confused on your car...its the GXE sentra or the SE-R one? what engine do you have? is it like a stock 02 GXE?

that depends on the driver.

thats what I was thinking, it probally just had a bad driver. I mean lets look at a corvette for example. Everyone claims it has an awesome auto tranny, however, it would stil lose to a manual.
