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

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

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

Again pretty sad when you post up these lame stories, other forums prolly find it entertaining though.
