Supercharged Ion

ksdorio · 07-01-2003, 03:16 AM

I heard they are makeing a Supercharged Ion Called the Redline Series. However from what I heard its only 200hp which sucks if its supercharged. I also read about a Honda engine in a new VUE. Does anyone know anything about these things?

Redline - Yes, and 200hp isn't all that bad.....

New Vue- old news - but its true

200 HP may suck for being S/C but keep in mind its gotta be a lil tuned down bc you need some traction so you can move from a stop if you get too much HP then you will punch it and go nowhere then you can never turn any where either.

Uh...that's a 60 horse gain...on low psi.

Crank it up and then talk again (it's a simple pully swap......)

Yep. GM has a perfectly good 275hp I6 (from the TrailBlazer) that they could use if they made the VUE RWD like an SUV should be.

But nope. They engineered their **** to be FWD, so they turn to Honda for a motor.

The VUE isn't a full size SUV like the trailblazer. Also, isn't AWD going to be an option for the upscale VUE and the redline VUE as well?

that is a big 10-4 buddy. just like now they have the AWD 4 and 6 cylinder engines as far as i know they will have the redline in those conversions, but i havent gotten ALOT of info on them bc i keep readin different info about the Red Line VUEs.

They say 200hp at least.
