Wagon's were SW's, sedans SL's and coupe SC's. 1 or 2 in any of the names stands for SOHC and DOHC, respectively. Mine's an SW2.
The important thing is that it have the DOHC engine, and a manual (preferably one that was paired with a DOHC originally, shorter gear ratios than a SOHC paired manual). Rare to see a wagon with a DOHC/5sp; mine's an auto->manual conversion. Otherwise, all I have is an intake, bored TB, good tires, and a little bit of experience launching it, which makes all the difference :) |

PonyRyd, his car is high 16's at best, my wagon's not in the same shape as it was last year. I only raced him a second time because he did a ricer blowby and put on his 4 ways acting like he won. Mike, NA for NA you and me would be a pretty cool race actually, you got the power, but don't have the tire for it with those Proxes 4's that you had last year ;) I dont wanna get addicted to the bottle, that's probably why I've never sprayed anything yet :P Uch, it's got some potential, but my wallet doesnt haha. I just wanna crack the 14's this year and do some roadcourse and autocrossing. Have some fun with the thing :) And launching in 2nd should keep your wheelspin down ;) |
those DOHC's are rated 125 HP ... hitting 15.5 is pretty good!!
|
yeah its a qiuck little car for what it is. he uses it to turn more than to drag but with my help i can help him hit 14's or better ;)
|
The thing with saturns, is because they bodys are plastic, they're light. The average saturn is only 2450lbs.
Uch, stay out of the boost, im sure you could handle a 2nd gear launch nicely with a little bit of clutch slippage :) |
hah naw man my clutch is too grabby for that . my best bet is a first gear launch with the boost controller turned off and then once i hit third gear reactivate it and hope for the best, lol.
trust me, launching my car is a little bit trickier than launching your car, lol |

We are talking about a Saturn wagon versus a Grand Am? And worst of all the Saturn has "mods" and is a rare DOHC 5spd. Again pretty sad when you post up these lame stories, other forums prolly find it entertaining though.:smilie_d0 |
Saturn wagon versus a Grand Am posts = :smilie_d0
judgez24: What mods do you have done? |
