Neato! The engine bay looks really well layed out and cleannnn.

Unimpressed. For an individual, sure it'd be a pretty decent job. For a car from a Saturn-specializing shop (which apparently has a website that's down), it's less than mediocre, IMO. I've seen teenage noobs do just as well on an interior, and while I haven't read the whole article to see what kind of performance stuff has been done, it doesn't look too impressive - no forced induction - just a bunch of stuff turned red. Not a fan of having a billion stickers on the car either, but that's inevitable when it's business-owned.

I give it a C+, mostly because I would expect more from a shop. It'd be more like a B+ if it were done by an individual. Just my thoughts.

Do you actually know when that car was featured? I think it was early 00, maybe earlier than that. Back them the saturn aftermarket sucked balls (well it still does) and very few people had nitrous or tubo kits on their car.

I like it, except for the stickers and graphics.

Taking another look at it, and the list of what's done, It looks like they made it into a higher compression engine. For that I would bump up their "grade", EXCEPT they claim 185 hp. I think that's a load of crap, and won't believe it until I see a dyno sheet.

LOL that thing isn't putting down 185hp

SaturnSC! · 01-11-2006, 01:15 AM

185hp at the camshaft.

-Cool-

yeah, 185 hp is definatley an exadgeration

I just thought it was cool that Saturn was getting some exposure
