<![CDATA[I've Fallen in love!!!]]>Guys, I just got back from having lunch with my cousin and for all of those who know where lunde is at, then you may already know what I was doing. I test drove the Ion Redline there and I have fallen in love with it. I want one so bad. I talked to my parents about it and it sounds like I am going to have to wait till next spring but if I really want it bad enough I can get it. Guys, I encourage all of you to do some research. It's the same platform as the Cobalt SS which means it's got the Ecotec 2.0L Supercharged engine with the five speed and limited slip front differential. Guys, I started from second gear and spun the tires on this thing. It's so fast. The gauges are postitioned a little wierd because they are right in the middle where everyone else can see them, if your in the car of course. The boost gauge is right on top of the steering column and if your in fifth gear and you slam on it, it goes from 0 to 10 psi no prob. Nice fast car. It's not that expensive either. 17K for it. Really really really fast car!@!!!! OMG FAST! It's got a lot of low end torque to, I am usually a really good manual driver, but when I got behind the wheel of that thing, it's so torquey in the low end, that if you get it up to two thousand rpm's, its tires are going to smoke. It's got so much power. Anywho, Just thought I would share that with everyone. Take a look at it guys, I definetly encourage anyone looking for a newer model tuner car to check it out.

True story.

BTW speaking of new cars, anyone driven a new Maxima with a Xtronic CVT?

I am very curious about it.

Why would you swap a redline when u could just swap a normal one? I think a turbo'd 4 cyl closed deck has just as much potential as an LS1.

I am really leaning on either an SS or a redline. But I don't know, I haven't ridden in an SRT before, so I might have to try one out sometime...We will see what ends up unfolding. It's all in the future and no one can tell the future so...

I thought you were joking at first when I was reading your post, I thought you were being sarcastic when you said it was fast...

Like cheapsrt said, buy his and put 5grand into it and run 11's. Or buy mine and have a nicer/faster car...lol ( I can put $1500 into mine and run 11's no problem) The warranty on my car is good until 2011. 7yr/70k mile warranty ftw.

But hey if you want to get the saturn, by all means get it, just don't be upset when new Civic Si's are beating you, or stock SRT's, or modded RSX-S's.

There's a guy on the NA forums w/ a Cobalt SS and he's had it at the dealer a bunch of times getting shit warrantied.

I've seen dynos of them putting 210-220 hp to the wheels. Not bad.

Plus, The roots style SC they have, makes the a lot more fun to drive than if it were NA....or even turbo :eek:
