Hello and Welcome. I am a former Saturn geek. I just sold my fully built SC2. I can help you out with whatever you need, as far as Saturns go. Disregard the negativity the above people have given. Not everybody has a buttload of $ to spend on a car. Iā€™m glad to see a Saturn guy jumping on the bandwagon. Sorry guys, but cut the kid a break. Itā€™s a Saturn. Yeah, so what? Let him do what he wants. Not everybody is fortunate enough to own expensive cars like you guys do. ---

Heā€™s never going to extract performance out of it. He doesnt have a ā€œbuttload of $ to spend on itā€ is exactly my point. Putting money away, for a good platform (hell even a Honda is a better platform) or something else would be the smart choice rather than **wasting** money on a Saturn. ---

it was rough tuned on another video hes hittin 340 hp thats more than double from factoryā€¦ dont tell me thats not a fast street car a 350hp 2200lb car sounds quick to meā€¦ just because it isnt a ā€œtypical honda tunerā€ you cant count it out ---

Yeah. The biggest problem Saturn tuners face, is the lack of aftermarket support. Itā€™s very tough to find performance components for the S Series. If we had more support from aftermarket performance companies, the car would be on a higher level of the tuner totempole. ---

> [@cobalt300z](#): > > just because it isnt a ā€œtypical honda tunerā€ you cant count it out If only you knew how hilarious it was that you said that to me. :lol: I couldnt care less about the tuner temple or whatever youā€™re babbling on about. The Saturn chassis is a pile of crap, like most GM cheapo chassis (J-body ring a bell?). Itā€™s a poor platform to build anything on. 350hp, whoopie! Back when that saturn was new, that mightā€™ve been a lot of power, but look at the market today, itā€™s saturated with 300-350hp cars (riding on much better chassis). ---

The Saturn is not on a J Body chassis. Please clarify how its a poor platform. Iā€™d like to know. The way it sounds, you must have owned a Saturn and built it, to know so much about its negatives. ---

I know itā€™s not a Jbody read the syntax of my post, I stated that it was SHIT, LIKE THE JBODY. Iā€™ve put enough miles on them, and worked on a few and know the inner workings fairly well. Along with the insight from some GM guys, and my experience around fairly high hp street/track cars I think Iā€™m able to make a fairly sound judgement on the chassis being a pile of garbage. Oh yeah, and I take shits that require more than 350hp. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/im-new-lol/19236.md?page=2)
