Might as well let the cat out of the bag...
Here is our 2005-ish Saturn Ion Red Line. We're racing in DS and SS (for fun, in SS, obviously). So far we've won the past two weekends against Type R's, 330i's, and a Crossfire. All are National guys, so we're pretty happy. No one can figure out why our Saturn is so fast. I love it. Oh well, here are the pics:
And now, some under-inflated Hoosiers will do this:
And yes, those are Fikse's.
We had them made for the car last year and they weigh about 12 lbs in 17". Not too bad.
I know you guys are wondering, so the answer is that the car is nearly all stock. The suspension is bone stock RL, and besides that we just have a larger exhaust, and of course, the LSD. The car is a ball to drive, and don't let the magazines tell you that it understeers badly with lots of bodyroll. I beat up on the Mini Cooper S racers, so I don't want to hear it. This car is a serious performance car and we're all very happy with the dynamics.
