This car looks HOT and the speed will be something! When the Red Line is produced for the public this should be pretty fast stock factory ride. I just hope the young male drivers will know how to handle all this.

I hope GM don't try to be a player in the sport-compact market by stuffing over-powered engines in under-strengthened cars and turn it into a muscle car. Power has to be matched with better chassis, suspension, brakes and stiffer body. Saturn is not a drag strip car.

Bonneville isn't a drag strip.

AFA whether or not Saturn is a drag strip car, Christena might have a different opinion.
