i would considering few people drift new cars unless they're pros

and i doubt that it's a good drift platform juding by 1, it's chassis being a convertable and all...and 2. it's a saturn

also, it looks to have a short wheel base like the miata, which is why you dont see them drifting either...too twichy

ive seen alot of miatas drifting, and those guys were killing it. I saw a comparsison between the saturn and miata, and the miata basically kicked its *** in every contest. I would take the 06 miata over it anyday, even though it still looks bubbly.

Not bad but I prefer the Solstice. Cleaner lines in a Pontiac for once.

that car has a slight resemblance to the vauxhall vx220, or opel speedster. (both gm) It's gotta be the US version, with less power, and no turbo...

i don't know..

CAR magazine in GB rated the vauxhall "performance car of the year" in 2003

i think those vauxhaul and opel cars were mid engine, if im not mistaken. These are fr setups on the saturn/pontiac. i like them, i wouldnt buy them, but its a step in the right direction imo, much like the gto
