The Saturn Sky RL & Solistice GXP 1/4 run?

[Alec Trevelyan]

How fast do you think these 2 cars will run the 1/4 mile when they come out?

[Tom Joad]

I'm hoping for mid to low 13's.

[punkrokdood]

low 13's possibly high 12's

[Alec Trevelyan]

low 13's possibly high 12's


I with you. Anything slower then 14.0 is a waste of such a fine looking automobile!

[punkrokdood]

nevermind :yikes:

Curb Weight- 2860 lbs
260 hp, 260 tq

[Tom Joad]

Option 6 if Alba is involved.

[punkrokdood]

i'm gonna change my answer to mid to high 13's

[phillysrt4]

who cares what it runs, its going to get owned by the s2000 interior

:rofl:
pwnt

just imagine if there was an acura s2000 :yikes:


on a sidenote, stock it pulls .9g's on the skid pad :thumb:

[gudeman00]

very low 14s is my guess


edit: after reading this post: direct from pontiac

2.0 turbo
260 hp/ 260 tq
5 speed manual/ optional 5 speed auto
direct injection
0-60 in under 5.5 sec


ill say high 13s

well, the opel advertises 0-62 (100km/h) in 5.2, so yea...

srt-4 was advertised as 5.3-5.5

i plugged it in to a calculator, and it said 13.7, but i think it could get a little quicker than that

a different calc said 14.05 at 105 :gay:

i used this formula
Speed at 1/4 mile point = 220 * (HP / Weight) ^.3138

Quarter Mile time = 6.9446 X (weight / HP)^.2841

I think it will runs low 13's. The other Ecotec cars have been underrated so I am actually optimistic.

If the car will trap around or even over 100 mph there is no reason it won't run mi/low 13's. 1.8-1.9 60 ft's from the factory should be easily achievable from what I hear about the rear tires size.

Voted 13.50-14.0.....

the Sky is a pretty nice looking car...I just don't know if I could get past the fact that i'd be driving a Saturn. No matter how fast it is, there's still that stigma....

....kinda like driving an 11-second civic. It hauls ass pretty well, and STILL everyone thinks it's gay....:jester:

[slow4dr]

Isn't that what you get now driving that V8 powered Cavalier?

there will probably be a demand for rebadging it as an opel... m4d 7y73 EDM is on its way... especially judging from what i've read on the sky forums already

rwd grand prix :lol:

[blackbird]

V8 in a Cavalier? It's hard to fit anything larger than a supercharged 3800/4t65E combo in the '95+ cars.

Oh... the "European" Cavalier. :lol:

ugh, i remember those things.... i'm glad they replaced it :thumb:


at least, i'm happy with the replacement

[PolarBear]

supacharged!

[lunchbox660]

i think its power performance will be similar to ours, given its similar weigth. even tho it is rated at higher HP and TQ, it has a RWD layout, so more drivetrain loss. it will own us on the curves tho i think. RWD in a car that small with that much TQ is gonna haul some serious ass on the corners.

plus, being that it is a saturn, there will prolly be plenty of ways to lighten it up. that could be a major advantage as long as soneone didnt mind driving around in a brand new gutted car. i personally dont mind it. i gutted my SRT out in like the first 2 months of owning it.

i get a bonner when i those solstice's. they look sweet
