Saturn Redline = fast car?

I know the red lines were quick for a 4 banger but I don't see how a stock one can just walk an LT1 at the start of a roll. Is the LT1 driver just that bad of a driver.

The Z28 probably wasnt even trying... it was just traveling at normal speed while the saturn punched it

.. I think 1. it was staged, and 2. the z28 hit it at the end probably.. I would cry if my car would get beat that bad (considering that was an LT1, and mines a 6) by a saturn.. :banghead:
