Are 1991-1995 or 1996-2002 Saturn SL2 or SC2's(these ones have DOHC) fast,well faster than a D16. When I was surfing the net a few days back I watchd some Saturn vids and one had like 300+ hp and another beat a 4th gen Camaro SS. Also my fellow car geek at school has like a '99 SL2 "APC Edition" and he says it's turbod. One night I checked his windows and I didnt see a boost gauge or controller(he said he had one on his dash) in sight. should I believe this or not

I was in my Formula one day(like a year ago or so) and had one drop back like 10-12 cars on me and do a ricer flyby. I was doing about 40mph or so and waited till he got to my rear quater panel(I'd say he was at about 75mph or so) and then I went to 2nd gear and hammered on him. He got to about my front fender before I made up for the momentum he had from gaining speed then I pull on him like a freight train and had about 5 cars on him by 100 to 110mph.

Against a stock/bolt on D16 I'd about bet on the saturn as they are 1.8's and have a broder tq curve. I'd say a LS Integra could pull on them though.

correct, but redline is equivalent to the Si in the Honda line up in terms of trim level

SL/SL1/SL2/Redline v DX/LX/EX/Si

My buddy used to have a SC2 about a month ago (which he messed up somehow and totaled it) and we did a few fun races and I have to say they can keep up with a D16Z6 but then again that was when I first started learning stick so I probably could smoke him if he still had it.

Correct me if i am wrong, but the redline and cobalt SS (supercharged) are pretty much the same car.
