Haha thanks. It's not as readable as I want it to be.

Sorry for the repost though, I must have missed it being posted before.

Edit: Which thread was this posted in? The article just came out yesterday.

What I was trying to get at, was that the article was pointing in the direction of the CobaltSS for the staged kits, and hardly mentioning our RLs to be included. Just the typical Saturn red headed step child being left in the dark....

Is that a bad thing? I don't see it as bad at all. We get the benefits of upgrades while maintaining anonymity and lower insurance rates.

I haven't read the article, I'm waiting for the cliff-notes but are you sure ours are upgradeable as well? I've heard Saturn's ECM is kinda wacky as compared to the Red Line's...........

did anyone in here actualy read the original Auto Week article that reviewed our car? That article reemed our car and the SS, giving our car last place and the SS 4th, too bad that our car is faster than all the ones reviewed (except the SRT-4, for now). Its good to see that Auto Week is now eating their words.
