Me vs. Saturn Ion Redline
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

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)?
