Waht model was it??

the new L-series sedans have 180hp V6, not sure on the torque, but not a slow car, but also not all that fast either! 12 years difference of technology can make a big difference for some cars, plus its a new 2002, might have something else thats not mentioned in the commmercials!

Saturns suck ****... although they are my car of choice to do 180's and slide around on pavement cause if I hit something, chances are it didn't hurt the car much

.

The Saturn in my family is a '98 SL2, I will say they have some low end torque, but thats it. Mine will do 0 - 60 in 8 flat, but past 60, any v6 car would take it.

overrall synopsis: Saturn's are pieces of shyt.

peace

p.s. Watch out for modded Saturn's though... I've been in a few, they fly. 0-60 in 6.5 o

I'm sure if your car was as new as his it would be a totally different story---all cars lose some hp's as they get older, and also some compression.....don't worry about it man....it could be many different factors--you might have drove a crappy start, it's also the driver sometimes---chalk it up, get a tune up--and race again---

I feel your pain. I was eaten to bits by a Saturn Wagon. I almost cried. I know my baby can do better than that. I've seen her do better but the sliquechik will be back.
