the quickest ion ever

I think you guys will get some laughs from this one. Today a guy told me that he has a ion that does the quater in 10 seconds. I was like how are you pulling those numbers. He replied, I have a supercharger and a turbo. Right then I knew this kid was a lier, so I asked him to race. He said sorry his girlfriend had his car. That is a load of horse shit right or have I just never heard about it. I can't believe that I am even asking this question, but you never know.

Maybe a twin turbo setup or just a bad liar
Who would let their girlfriend drive that fast a car?

I asked him if it was a twin turbo setup and he said no. I am going to ask him to race. If it is a supercharged ion I don't know if I can take hime, but I am guessing I can since I have beaten two srt 4's. The only diference I can think of off hand is the srt is turbo and the ion is supercharged, so it will have more power in the lower rpm's. Still, I do not know specifications of the motor itself, only that they are both 4 bangers. I just want to put this lair in his place.

Its possible, because I have a turbo, a supercharger, and the turbonator, and last time I took my car to the quarter mile track I traveled back in 1959 when the track was first built before I got to the end of the track. Then I had to find Doc Brown to get me back to the right year.

Although it is possible to supercharge and turbo a car it is very unlikely that his ION is. My only idea is that he may have a Saturn ION Redline, but unless it is modified pretty good, you shouldn't have a problem taking it out. The stock redlines are close to the 0-60 and quarter times for the stock 2nd gen TL-S times.

that kid is a retard and a liar. I bet he has a base ion with a supercharger badge and turbo bade on top of it. srt4's are definitely faster than redlines and cobalts SS's.

turbo and supercharger together?? I thought VW is the only company that's making such system! and if I remember correctly, it's only a 1.4L engine with 170hp....not even close to what a TL makes..

Well I guess we may have all underestimated the possibility of a twin charged ion redline/cobalt SS. According to the link below, there was a company developing a twin charge kit for a Cobalt SS that would give it 300 whp. Couldn't find out if it was ever created, but it is possible. I have seen a 9 sec. twin charged Pontiac Grand Prix before!!

I've seen Buick Regals pull 10second quarter miles, anything is possible. However I doubt it, too much work all for a Saturn, no way, who mods a car that's named after a fucking planet?

Yeah the Redline is supercharged, it's practically an uglier version of the Cobalt SS.
