COMPETITION PACKAGE REDLINE---5 CAR SHOOTOUT in CAR and DRIVER!!!

[mombo]

I just read the september 2005 car and driver shootout and the COMPETITION PACKAGE REDLINE has some really GOOD #'s!!!

It beat the PERFORMANCE PACKAGE COBALT on the road corse time---lane change speed---braking from 70-0 and acceleration from 0-60mph 5-60mph 30-50mph 50-70mph 0-120mph and also on the top speed test...

Of course they ranked it 5th out of 5 but i still think it was a good shootout.

The cars were all close and they are all good cars...

Now i cant wait to upgrade my 2004 REDLINE to the 2006 COMPETITION PACKAGE REDLINE!!!

I don't think that the RL get the respect that it deserves. I swear I feel like a Red-headed step child in this thing. The only problem is, I am the one slapin' that ass!

Of course Cock and Diver magazine ranked that Saturn in last place, as usual. Real shitty considering the Red Line alaong with the SS could probably outperform the RSX-S and WRX.
