OT: saturn ion redline
i kno this is wildly off topic but my neighbor just brought home a brand new saturn ion redline. its black with chrome wheel.
my first impression without riding in or driving the car is that it is way more awesomer than i thought it would be. this is the first time ive ever seen one. he told me its built with a cobalt ss chasis and driveline. they even have recaro seats front and back!
if anybody is ever looking for a cheaper alternative to the wrx i think the ion redline would be good to look at.

before buying ...drop a huge downpayment if you plan on trading in or selling within a couple of years. for some crazy reasons unknown... GM products generally have a horrendous resale value (with exceptions to the obvious of course) great link by dan-
The Performance Division destroked the engine, lowered its compression ratio from 10:1 to 9.5:1, bolted on a Roots-type supercharger (making 12.5 pounds of boost), stuffed in a Laminova air-to-water intercooler, and underrated it at 200 hp and 149 lb-ft of torque. That's right, they underrated it. Our Dynojet revealed the truth, which is an impressive 197 hp at the wheels at 6450 rpm and 169 lb-ft at 5250 rpm.
