I think if you go to www.roadandtrack.com, you should be able to find it...I'll look too
Didn't find anything.
Yeah I read it,& it was'nt bad. They did'nt step on it& drag it through the mud. Truthfully I was shocked.

Nice article, but I thought it was supposed to be a comparo of the Redline and the SRT4???? :confused:
I stopped and read it yesterday. seemed more like they were talking about the SRT and then siad where the Redline lagged behind.

I think they drew the distinction that the Redline is a lap car, not a drag racer. I thought it was a good review.
I have the magazine......I think they did a very good comparison showing each cars strenghts and weaknesses.....overall the SRT-4 won first place by less than 1 point....the SRT-4 did get the extra points for styling which I think is crazy because they Red Line looks way hotter IMO
Personally, I would rather be better in the curves than in a line.

True dat.

The RL is a much nicer looking vehicle. Just my opinion. I can definitely respect the SRT for it's performance factor though.

How can a Neon have more style than a Redline?
Not bad

Considering I still remember the quote they used to describe the SC2, which was something to the effect of: "...the only thing that makes us grin a little is the suprising quality of the stereo system for an otherwise unimpressive car." The article was buried in one of those 2"x2" mini articles on like page 90 buried in the ads. This article was actually pretty fair, considering the Honda Civic's that they tested beat any Saturn in a landslide previously. I don't put much faith in their testing methods anyway, most of the winners can be determined by which car is a newer design. The match ups aren't always very even, like when the tested the Saturn Vue Redline OFFROAD against a bunch of SUV's that were missing low-profile tires and ground effects. I though all-in-all that they were REAL nice to the car given past history.
