Default 2007 Sky Redline outperforms S2000...

1/4 mile results: 13.9@100mph
0-60 results: 5.5 seconds

260hp/260 ft-lbs of torque. And its Turbo'd from the factory.

Now whether you hate GM or not, i dont see how anyone can argue that this is not a cool car. It does everything the S2000 does, and does it better.

And this makes the S2000 look bland as hell looks-wise also.

The Sky has a lot of potential.

Oh yes, because the S2000 IS ALL ABOUT THE QUARTER MILE.

I'll admit it is a cool car...but just something about it being a Saturn keeps me from liking it a lot. It is a step in the right direction for the company IMO.

Considering that the S2000 is now a 6-year old vehicle, I should hope the Sky outperforms it. I doubt it will have that "track ready" handling the S2000 is known for, however. Isn't the Skye supposed to be the comfort-oriented version, while the Solstice is the more sport-oriented version?

I really like the way the Sky looks, I just don't think I could ever buy a Saturn. I've had friends who have had terrible dealership experiences with them, and the Saturn name just screams "low rent" at me. Use the Solstice's suspension tuning, the Sky's sheetmetal, and an Opel badge, and I'd buy one.

It'd be a really tough choice between the two, but I'd lean towards the S for proven build quality and reliability.
