Saturn Ion

[BigFig15]

Last night I was riding around and i came across a Saturn Ion at an intersection. Lights went green got in front of him by a few car lengths, then he shot past me like I was standing still. Im like whoa, that thing has nuts. Does anyone know much about these? Other than its supercharged and weighs only like 2500lbs

Yea, it has 140 HP. If this thing pasted you buy, it's time you get a new car.

I'm sorry. I'mnot coming down on you. Just having a very bad day.

I like running cars like that. Normally they go home and buy more parts for their cars.
Again, sorry.

Dont worry Fig,

I Had the same thing happen to me last week. I was doing bout 63mph and one of those redline's pulled next to me. He nodded and took off, so he got the jump but he kept me a half car back up to 110mph. Deffenatly shocked me.

Im not mad about. We cant win them all. At least it wasnt no Honda or some rice burner. Im just impressed that Saturn did something pretty cool with one of their cars.

Rip,
Never good to run from that high of speed. Unless your on the freeway.
I will have to look for one of those. Been a long time since someone "nodded" to me. Think it was a Michigan State trooper. And it was more of a "pull your ass over" nod.

No shit.

My cam usually does pretty good at high speeds though. Next time I see him I wont have a full spare and 2 bags of tools in my car either. Oh and that night is when I finished the water injection on my car.

Still pretty impressed w/ a sleeper saturn

OK, but I still have to find one.
Come on down, we'll rent one, take it a part to see what makes it go.

Bigfig,
Were you driving a GT or GTP?

[BIG-L]

Atleast it's a GM product

[BigFig15]

I was driving a 2000 GTP. I still think that Saturn had some stuff done to it though.

[phaelax]

Something about a saturn beating me would really make me mad, and ashamed. Even with 205hp, it shouldn't have outperformed a GP like that.

[Ripn12s]

Sorry man, but there is always someone faster.

i dont think you've been to the track very much if you dont understand that.

[kustomkid54]

Is your GTP stock? If so, I can see it being a good race, after reading up on it. I like looking for Mustang GT's, their fun to run. And the look on their faces. It's like "this isn't happening, is it"?
Hey, have fun out there. Stay safe.
