Default Ion Redline

...Saturn has a new car out called the Ion Redline. They claim it has 205 hp. Thats scary. My friend has a Saturn and its worst than Kias. I would not want to be in that car, pushing it. "Whoops!! You just lost your front end!!" 'Eh, don't worry, its supposed to do that..'

The SRT4s are fast though for the price you pay. What other car can get you about 280hp for under $25k? Although alot of people are selling them who autocross because they suck in stock class. Uber skinny 17" wheels can't fit nice rubber on them.
