Am I the only one who saw this article? I just picked it up from the stand on Sunday and I was sure there would've been a thread started about it before now.

What's the scoop?

BTW, it was pretty favorable...

 

[SatredL]

Yeah, I read it, and it was a pretty decent article. They compared the two cars nicely, and did'nt kick the RL into the can like some other magazines did. Is the RL starting to get some respect?

 

[silver bullet]

I read it too. Not a bad artical. Sure would like to see that redone with the slip diff thats coming. I believe RL's are getting the respect,,like I tell others respect is only the right foot away,,I know we all have made some believer's this way

I tell ya, there are some kids in a 240 that were making fun of me and my roommate for being in a Saturn with a big wing. Laughing and talking loud enough that we could hear 'em with our window just cracked, pointing, laughing like crazy. The light turned green, I lit up the front tires like a smoke show, threw it into second and was GONE to the next light. By the time they pulled up, the kids riding with him we all making fun of him as loudly as they were just laughing at us 2 min before. Ahhh... nothing like a car people don't take seriously. He wouldn't even hit the gas hard enough to keep up with traffic at the next light, wanted to make sure I know he wasn't 'feeling' like racing.

I can't light 'em up in first gear, the wheel hop makes it feel like the front end's coming off.

Emergency brake helps.

rev it higher, they'll light up no problem, dump the clutch at 4500rpms and you'll get a smoke show

is this a new article? the last comparison was by Car and Driver, correct?

well just at RoadandTrack.com and unfortunatly that article was not on it yet so looks like I'm going to waldon books tomorrow.

Sounds like the only things on their wish list were:

more horsepower
limited slip differential
shift light

...which sounds like the competition package to me!
(well, plus a little extra oomph, but I hear that's coming)
