Default Sky red line?

Anyone see that Saturn is releasing a turbo powered 260 hp saturn sky red line edition with estimated 0-60 in 5.5 and 1/4 mile of 13.9 seconds? That sounds eerily similar to the new edge gt's performance times. Another way of GM sticking it to Ford?

no. Just a coincidence...GM isn't trying to compete with an out-of-production car, and the Sky is not the same class car as a Mustang...

Closest Ford competition would be the Mazda MX-5...the redline would directly compete with the upcoming Mazdaspeed version...

Those numbers are impressive out of a saturn sky. I disagree with the mx5 being much competition. Its performance times pale in comparison to that of the Sky.

Don't get me wrong, I totally agree. But you know that a DB will get it and want to race GT's. It would be pretty embarrassing if any of our fellow stang owners got owned by a saturn. ouch.
