"In an effort to drum up tuner interest in the 2007 Saturn Sky, tuning firm Gravana and General Motors will debut a Sky project car later this year at the 2006 SEMA Show in Las Vegas."

Why a 300hp Saturn?  

i have to admit, even though it is made by saturn, the sky does look nice  

It looks good, I can't believe it is that hard to put a 300hp engine in it. The Opel GT, which is what the sky and solsitce are based off of, has a turbocharged 2.2ltr in it. I think I would rather have a small turbo 4 banger than the V8 that people are stuffing in the solstice.

Why a 300hp Saturn?

Why does a Jeep Cherokee have 420hp?

300hp in a Saturn is to give all those rich old men a suprise. There's nothing better to own that Carrera next to you at a street light or on the freeway...

* I do not support street racing or any other illegal activites... but what if you had 300HP in a saturn??

Why does a Jeep Cherokee have 420hp? Is there really a need?

Lots of horsepower in a 'economical' car is to give all those rich old men a big suprise. There's nothing better to own that Carrera next to you at a street light or on the freeway...

* I do not support street racing or any other illegal activites... but this is a 300HP Saturn!!!  

a jeep cherokee has 420hp because people like me think its awesome

If I had a 300HP Saturn?  I would strap myself in and feel the Gs.  

ya... and I would rather lose in a Carrera then win in a 300hp Saturn.

yea but then you'd be stuck with the shame of losing to a saturn a carrera  

and the guy who drives the saturn would not be so satisfied with his car unless if there is a carrera at every stoplight.  

i think knowing that you can beat a carrera in a saturn would be satisfying enough for me, but i guess that's just me  

All this talk about a Saturn beating a Carrera reminds me of a buddy of mind who was running an integra against a Ford Pinto.  Guy lost like 4 times to the pinto but after the 4th time they found out the guy had like a V8 small block with like a nitrous injector under the hood.

You can make anything fast. Being able to pretend your Vin Diesel once every fem monthes might be worth it for some people. You can build a Fox body Mustang that will take just about anything in a straight line for under twenty grand. Does that make it a great car?  

just wondering if i were to compare a supra to a carrera would that be as much of an issue as the sky vs. carrera?
