Not one step backwards!

Slow car you say?



Let me tell you about the silver Saturn Ion, and its ridiculously tall gearing. 3.84 final drive meets 0.69 5th, coupled with a rev-happy 2.2L, means 5th (and 4th, for that matter) isn't usable for anything but cruising and going downhill.

Upside: It's reliable and actually handles decent. It's just gutless as hell. Not quite Mercedes 240D gutless, but enough that I use 2nd and 3rd far more than any other car I've owned.


It's an ecotec isn't it? You could always find yourself an M62 from a Cobalt SS/SC. ZZP makes a 2.2 blower kit, but they're pretty expensive. I see the blower by itself pop up on craigslist occasionally for pretty cheap.
