and i don't care because it's a GM

ChrisCantSkate 02-09-2004 12:08 AM

yeah i herd about that... 212 is pretty damn fast

HndaTch627 02-09-2004 03:21 AM

remember that 212 is the AVERAGE speed between 2 passes, that's iimpressive, saturn or no saturn....anf FWIW is think it's funny they are talking about the "Red Line" packages yet their "red line" Vue is powered by a honda 3.5Litre V-TEC V6 and transmission :lol: :lol:

Strangely enough...I'm actually with Hondaman on this. it's a Saturn...who cares? I won't lie...I didn't bother to read the article but for f@ck's sake...it's a Saturn. If a Saturn can go that fast imagine what a REAL car outfitted similarly could do. Hell...the '03 Cobra set a record in it's class in stock form and was limited by regulations because it didn't have the right wheel/tire combo (limited to under 180mph). I have yet to be impressed by anything GM has done in the last 30 years or so and this is no exception.

GM constantly impresses me with their shoddy quality and engineering. ;)

When I think Saturn, I think 7th gen Accord. Boooooo.
