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.
