honestly the whole car needs to be recalled and fixed. I love the power. Shit its all over the place. But saturn forgot to finish the car. Too many little things make it worse. Ya know a bunch of small shit still = one big piece of shit.

yes wise words of goofyguy..

The whole car does need to recalled and redone before things get out of hand for Saturn/GM.

small piece of shit = big piece of shit. you are right.

and congratulations on the new charger R/T!

Like I was saying, I do love my car and so does my gf. But we can't stand the problems. It's riduculous how many problems this car has. I bought this car to get away from the problems of my past used cars. I had WAY less problems with the old cars and I beat them harder. I bought this car over the SRT4 because people warned me about dodge and told me saturn was okay. Now I really regret buying the RL over the SRT4. I would have had way less issues buying a 04-05 SRT4. Oh well, live and learn.....

I dont know what my next ride will be, i'm thinking of anything RWD. I miss RWD. 240sx S14, 240sx S13,RX7 TT, RX7 TurboII, RX8, miata mazdaspeed .. I dunno which one to get but I do know any of those cars in the twisties will be a beautiful thing...

Has everyone tried to complain to saturn corp? Maybe if more people complain saturn will do something... maybe?

Doubtful.

You paid for an engine and suspension. The rest they just slapped on there to hold those two systems together. Oh yeah, and the seats.

Pull out that fucking ECU! Put on a programmable system and tune that bitch! Put on a turbo, and boost to 20psi. Get the correct size injekterz. You'll run 9s. You're already reinforced all to hell, and you've got a transmission designed for TOWING!!!!!! You might...... WILL need new driveaxles though, and an LSD.

I test drove a EVO8 W/ Touring package and a RX8 Grand Touring package today. I'm stuck which one to get..

EVO8 is raw performance power w/ little creature comforts. I'll be getting the EVO8 for around 36k

I could wait for the EVO9 which will come standard with 6spd and front/rear LSD's.

RX8 is luxury sport w/ a high revving smooth motor. With the rx8 i'll be around the same speed as the RL. I would get the RX8 for around 35k

choices..choices..

I'll be test driving a STi tommorow..

RX8 IMO doesn't have the bang for the buck

yes, the rx8 is pricey but it's damn nice! I'm not really into real flashy cars, but hot damn.

There's still bugs in the Renesis. Check out some RX8 forums if you haven't already.

I thought the EVO8 already had LSDs everywhere. I'd wait for the 6 speed.

the more and more I read about the rx8. The more impractical that car is, It doesnt come with the a sparetire. I have to spend $300 bucks to get a spare tire. I think fuckin' not...

if i get a sparetire, I can't get the rear strut bar either.

The trunk is super small too. I can fit like a couple bags of groceries and a gym bag..
