The red saturn I raced....

I don't know how many of you remember my post about the red saturn kill i posted on the kill boards about 2 weeks ago. But, if you recall, on the post, we were talking about what the saturn had in it because it appeared totaly stock, yet it still kept up with me....well, it turns out that his nephew goes to my school. His uncles saturn has a turbo charger in it! haha...I beat a turbocharged saturn :P . hehe...just updating you guys

yes but did you actually SEE the turbo? people talk a lotta crap most times, much like the cavalier rice kid that claimed he had a "vtec conversion".

I made sure and asked the kid over and over if he was SURE it was turbo'd. And he kept saying yes....i think he would want to be on his uncles side tho....so, if he lost (the saturn) which he did, then it seems like he would want to play up his car as completely stock....no?

I did notice that after the race, i was behind him, adn the car was abnormaly fast for having no mods (that i could see). I don't know, i will never see it i'm sure....i saw him parked adn leaning on his car flirting with some chick yesturday, and i drove by and grinned at him. haha...anyways....interesting

It was not the twin cam one....it was the plain 4 cylander saturn....coupe i believe. I had a good look at the back of it, because i was behind him later after the race....and it didn't say, "Twin cam"

I know what the rear end of the 'twin cam' saturn looks like....this didn't look like it, and it didn't say 'twin cam' on it. i think that thats enough info to prove its not a twin cam satrun, lol.
