six vs ricer
A Saturn is not a "ricer"
Correct. The SL and SC series were built in Tennessee, some of the later models were based on Opel platforms.
We've owned 4 Saturns over the years. Still have 2 of them. A 98 SC2 that we keep around for a spare (Gets used about once a week for one reason or another), and a 2006 Ion 3. My wife's daily drivers.
They make excellent commuter cars, get great gas mileage, and have a very low cost per mile.
And feather duster is right. Saturns are low torque Economy oriented cars. They have about 2/3 the slant six HP, and far less weight, but no low end to speak of. Unless your friend has done something to boost the low end torque, a quarter mile run will go to the slant. :thumbup:
btw... My son built a SC1 that put out a
real world 300 hp, from the original engine block. The potential is there, but it's expensive. I suppose it's possible your buddy's Saturn has some balls, it's just not probable.
