A stock Redline around hear DID beat a modified S2000 from a roll.

Wouldn't doubt it. I had a real hard time trying to take off without spinning the wheels.

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:

ya, for $70K....some company already has been making these.

[CheapSRT]

buy my srt it pretty quick $5000 you have a mid 11 car

[treimche]

From what I've heard, the motor/tranny in the Cobalt SS/Ion Redline is very very good, but everything else around it is typical GM junk. 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.

Import y0.... ...

[Instigator]

Whats the warranty like for these?

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.

Oh, I don't know, we will see what kind of job I have this spring. 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...

[00vtec]

SRT's are nice.. fast for a stock turbo if you dont do anything right away.

[amicheze]

srt's arent bad. after all the hype i was kind of disappointed when i drove one, but theyre still pretty quick stock.

[00vtec]

yea. i guess thats true first time i rode in one i didnt really have anything to compare it to

[btleier]

what were you disappointed with?... fastest newer car for your money, hands down.

[00vtec]

No **** but i know you cant actually read what that says.. its nice.. just not my type of car... i prefer honda but i guess its up to the person that is driving 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.

[MisterCMK]

sure, a stock LS1

True story.

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

I am very curious about it.
