and i don't care because it's a GM

[ChrisCantSkate]

yeah i herd about that... 212 is pretty damn fast

[HndaTch627]

remember that 212 is the AVERAGE speed between 2 passes, that's iimpressive, saturn or no saturn....anf FWIW is think it's funny they are talking about the "Red Line" packages yet their "red line" Vue is powered by a honda 3.5Litre V-TEC V6 and transmission :lol: :lol:

Strangely enough...I'm actually with Hondaman on this. it's a Saturn...who cares? I won't lie...I didn't bother to read the article but for f@ck's sake...it's a Saturn. If a Saturn can go that fast imagine what a REAL car outfitted similarly could do. Hell...the '03 Cobra set a record in it's class in stock form and was limited by regulations because it didn't have the right wheel/tire combo (limited to under 180mph). I have yet to be impressed by anything GM has done in the last 30 years or so and this is no exception.

Boooooooo I hate GM's! Who's with me?

[ChrisCantSkate]

[Racing Rice]

I agree with Chris... I like cars.. I dont care if its a honda,GM or Ford.. A record is a record.;)

[IALuder]

to this is no big deal. why becuase its not my car doing 212.

[CD5Passion]

don't care much for those IONS so I honestly don't care:cool:

[spoogenet]

GM constantly impresses me with their shoddy quality and engineering. ;)

When I think Saturn, I think 7th gen Accord. Boooooo.
