One of the biggest attractions at SEMA was the fantastic Stinger® ’05 Saturn Ion.
“This custom automobile definitely represents a work of modern art. The creativity and innovation involved shows a way of thinking that could only come from an automotive artist” stated Jerry Ansley, Director of Purchasing – AAMP of America™.
Mark Abate, owner and operator of Sound Choice Audio and Performance, Grand Island, NY was the mastermind behind the Stinger® Saturn. After being selected by GM™ to be one of their “dollar car” contest recipients Abate began finding sponsors to help bring his ideas to reality. Stinger® was the choice for all his car audio accessory needs. After Mark received sponsorship, he began construction with a 5 member team and only a mere 45 days to meet the SEMA deadline. After many long days the hard work paid off and the Stinger® Saturn was born. This creation drew quite a crowd.
“The traffic created by the car was astounding!” stated, Micah Ansley – President, AAMP of America™.
The custom Stinger® Saturn was filled with high-end Stinger® products and accessories: Stinger® batteries, alternators, wiring, interconnects, capacitors, fuse blocks and distribution blocks. Also included were numerous LCD monitors, amps, subs, air suspension, custom wheels and matched Stinger®-yellow paint, a widebody body kit, Lamborghini flip front doors and gullwing rear doors. Everything, from the doors to the hood to the trunk was motorized. At the end of the show GM™ engineers, representative of the GM Dollar Car initiative, presented Mark with the “Outstanding Project Vehicle Development & Execution Award” in the GM™ compact car division.
The Stinger® Saturn is scheduled for an encore appearance at the Stinger® booth (5218) during the International CES, Las Vegas, on January 5-8, 2006.
“It was a pleasure working with Stinger®. Every product worked flawlessly and offered style and functionality that matched up perfectly to my plans. My team and I met our deadline and created a show stopper! Now with additional time to fully complete the masterpiece I can’t wait to re-release it at CES ’06 ’cause you haven’t seen anything yet!” stated Mark Abate.
