Do saturns even have any after market support?

not like honda, but we get by... used to be slim pickings for us Ion RL drivers, but with the release of the cobalt in 05 we started getting more support. we had no tuning capabilities untill about 6-7 months ago, but now we have it all! I actually just blew up 4 weeks ago, and am currently re-building... shes gonna be a monster!

and yes, the cobalt ss/sc is the same platform and drivetrain as the Ion redline, but the Ion weighs a couple hundred pounds less.

but to answer the origional post. no, the sl's and sc's are not fast imo... like any car they can be made fast, but i would put them about the same level as a civic or 4 cyl accord.

"Fast" is relative.

To say that something isnt fast, there is generally some comparison made. if you drive a stock yugo, any saturn is probably blinding fast. To me, the only fast cavabalt or saturn that ive seen was running outlaw FWD at nopi. I dont consider any of my cars to be fast. 8s is fast.

with street legal cars i consider anything sub 14 is ok, 12-13 pretty damn quick, and anything sub 12 is fast, and once you break 10 and get into 9s that's next level fast. strictly strip cars are a little different IMO, yeah they're still fast, just takes a little more for me to say "wow, that's impressive"

This kid in one of my classes has a stock SL2, and there was a nice mustang GT outside the window of the class, and he was talking about how he could smoke it. He was also saying he's about to buy some "Air-Turbos" Whatever that means..

Honestly people, a saturn IS a saturn though, am i right????? my dad has a 1999 SL2 and they can be somewhat quick but there is nothing that will beat a honda that is tuned right!!! Honda quality vs. Saturn quality, who would win? Honda!!!
