WHY do SATURN drivers/modders constantly rag on SATURNS? I do not get it!!!
heres a copy paste of a post I jsut typed over on SaturnSpot:
yea everyone knows 'saturns are slow' stop posting it in every thread about performance. Not talking just to tristan, everyone. This is a Saturn forum, why are we constantly ragging on our own cars? Its common sense, we have less aftermarket, and there are less of us modding the 1.9 platform. Even then, sure the 1.9 design might be limmited to way below 400, so what? Thats not what we (at least I) am aiming for. I just want my car to be quick enough to be fun, and compettive with other stuff in its class, this the Saturn can do. End of story.

His last statement is kind of true though. I mainly modded my saturn to beat Hondas which it can do. But I am still modding it to beat other cars. I love my saturn modded because how often do you see a saturn pull up to the line. Never and plus then watch the saturn tear the roads up. It is great and some people though hate being outsiders. They can't handle being made fun of for being different so they end up ragging on themselves and looking like a fool. Although I do love to watch people stare at my car and then get amazed (shocked stares) after I beat a retarded honda or same car in the class.

the only thing limiting the llo to under 400 is pump gas and budgets, from my experience it is a flawless motor, my car was fun when it was stock and it just keeps getting better, i have always been able to smoke the stupid hondas in the area and i love it
In my opinion the only 4 cylinder better than a saturn is a nissan

so true so true jts.
All I can say is that when I went to the local 1/8th dragstrip, my SOHC 5sp beat a '98 SOHC 5sp civic hatch (with a handfull of bolt-ons AND wheels). At the time I only had a WAI and strut tower brace, and was running Kelly Skytrack stock sized (uber-skinny) tires. That car was smack dab in the middle of 'my class' of cars, he was at my back bumper, but I won both times we raced.

I really don't pay attention to people that rag on others cars, being a Saturn or what ever. Whats the point to all of it?

I'm going to say the drivers of the Cavaliers were not racing, or could not drive. I had a Cav Z-24 and my SATURN twin cam SL2 could not run with it. I had a 2.4L Cav LS auto and my SL2 twin cam could not run with it. My Son had a 2.2L Cav 5speed and it was about the same my SL2 twincam 5speed. So for your 100hp SC1 auto to beat CAVS, I'd say they were not racing.
