Saturn Sky Red Line First Drive

Had the chance to put a Sky Red Line through it's paces yesterday at a GM press event in San Antonio yesterday and put up a quick look at it's performance that it offers. Cheers!

Re: Saturn Sky Red Line First Drive

Just correct the units of torque, it's lb-ft not lb/ft. Otherwise, great site.

Can this engine burn regular gas?

Like your site man, very clean. And good pictures too of it, those would be great as desktop backgrounds.

Re: Saturn Sky Red Line First Drive

Does anyone know how much it'll cost? Hopefully not much more than $30k. I still prefer the Solstice though.

Re: Saturn Sky Red Line First Drive

I think it came in just under 30K loaded to the gills. Save Z06, this is the most attractive GM car on the road right now.

Re: Saturn Sky Red Line First Drive

really good review with awesome pics, I like the regular Solstice better than the Sky, but as far as the GXP & Red Line models go, I think I like the Red Line better, I think!

Re: Saturn Sky Red Line First Drive

I love the Sky, it looks more aggressive. The Solstice seems to me to be more of a old folks roadster. But that's just me.

Actually, its the other way around. The Soltice has the stiffer suspension.

It can burn regular, though like some of the cars premium is recommended.

Good review, the Solstice 2.4 was fun for the most part, though the transmission was annoying on that too.

Oh man, I just had a dream that some stranger let me drive his brand new Z06. Damn, sucks to be awake!

Nice review, BTW.
