Got beat by a saturn SC1
My gf has a 94' Saturn SC1. That little thing can fly. You wouldn't think that a little 4 banger could beat a bonne, but these cars can.She has no mods on it at all. It is a POS.
One of my other friends has the same year same car with a manual, he knows how to drive it, and I smoked him. I also about ran him off the road for passing on the shoulder.

those little saturns can be damn quick. They still suck though, even though the saturn ion has about 140hp stock which is not bad for a 4banger. The bonnie has much more torque and is just a better car to drive in, I wouldn't want to get into an accident with a saturn, your butt would be deader then a doornail.

That'* odd. My sister has a 95 Saturn SC1 and that thing wouldn't stand a chance with me.
How much did you lose by? I bet it had to be close. Maybe it'* time to change some plugs/wires and just plain mod it

The little button beside the shifter would be it, and you can also see the OD button.

The button on my car has little text in front of the buttons, as you can see in the pic above... "Norm" with a little diagram of the button in the off position and "Pwr" with a little thing showing the button pushed down... you can really fool passengers into you having nitrous with that button

My '96 Saturn SL2 has a DOHC 1.9L on a 5-speed stick, and I have to admit, it'* pretty quick for a 4-banger, especially if you know how to drive it... ...but doesn't stand a chance against my '93 SSEi....
