Me vs. Saturn Ion Redline

So Friday on the way home from work I was driving down a busy road and I see what seems to be a riced out saturn ion weaving in and out of traffic trying to catch up to me, lucky us we were first ones to get to the next stop light. Im getting excited because this is the first time someone has tried to race me since i have owned this car, so technicly this is my first "race." So he starts looking at me and Im like, hmm a saturn wants to race a cl-s, no comptetition right? Little did i know that these new "redlines" have a supercharger and they put down 200 whp and 200 tq, (i checked out the stats when i got home). So light turns green and off we go, we both get an even start, except i just took off from 1000 rpm and it sounded like he was reving it up before taking off. Anyways, he sticks with me from 1st to 2nd then i start pulling on him, by 3rd hes about 2 car lenghts back and I had to shut it down because of traffic. Looks like these redlines put down some decent numbers, 0-60 in 6.3 seconds, 1/4 mile is 15.3 at 94.5 mph, not bad for a saturn. Anyways, to my self for my first kill!

nice kill... gotta watch out for those redlines too who woulda thought that from a saturn? Do you know if they are using the honda engine/tranny like the other saturn (VUE) I believe.
I had a mid 90's accord with fart pipe, and probably headers give me a run the other day, and an infinity "try" a blow by on me.
What is it with these CL's, damn everyone wants a piece. :o

Sweet kill "zoltanh" I wonder what that race would have been like if you would've had your future CT box and headers?

BTW, what did you shut it down @ (gear & speed)?

LoL the saturn was lucky you had to shut it down at 80 mph. I bet you would have put a lot more distance after 80mph. Vtec in 3rd gear is pretty powerful IMO

Details on the Red Line: The Red Line coupe boasts 205 horsepower from a supercharged and intercooled 2.0-liter engine. To manage the additional power, the Red Line coupe gets a heavy-duty five-speed manual gearbox from Getrag, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, a recalibrated suspension with a lowered ride height (by 10mm), and 215/45R17 tires on 17-inch wheels. The Ion Red Line is distinguished by unique front and rear fascias, side sills, a rear wing, and Recaro sport seats.

Wew Hew, ricaro's! :P
