I work in a factory. In that factory we make ignitions,keys, and ignition modules. I make ignition modules specifically for the saturn vue. So hence, "I Made the ignition and ignition module for that, since I've made every module(or at least helped) thats come out of that factory. So every time you turn that key, remember I put that together :p

OnoFastStanza I think those wheels in 19's will look damn good on it.

see, slalom is a bit better measurement for handling... skidpad is not.

and if you're HONESTLY suggesting a Vue will beat a GTO around a road course.... then... wow.

Assuming I didnt need the storage and everything else (including money) was equal, I'd give the nod to the GTO -- its more powerful, has a wonderful exhaust note, and stirs the senses and emotions the way any box on wheels, no matter how well done, simply cant.

I never said that it would beat it on a road coarse. I was just stating how surprised I was about the handling characteristics of a new sports car(the GTO). Also the WRX posts fairly good skid pad #'s at .88g:D May I ask what good skid pad numbers are if not for cornering stability?

I won't be selling my stockers off my Vue (winter wheels) but I did see some Redline Vue wheels on eBay for $400 and I was really tempted to pick them up heh.

And no the Honda V6 is now standard in all V6 Vues. Redline is really pretty much only a cosmetic package on the Vue with the exception of it sitting lower by an inch and I think it has a slightly more aggressive spring rate.

Well, Supra posts .98GZ06 posts .98g as well.

which is MUCH faster around a road course...

WRX's .88g is kinda lower, for a "performance" car.

My CRX posts 1.18g and I have a hard hard time keeping up with a stock Z06 around a road course (granted, 405hp plays a role in that, but, the z06 sticks soooo farking good, it's amazin

mmm hot Z065 action...

They usually destroy auto x competition as well.

probably the best bang for your buck sports car ever made.

though that Elise looks very promising. and gets near twice the economy!
