Time to say goodbye...

To my silver '04 Saturn Ion Redline...

I'll be picking up a new car next week. Most of the mods on my car have already been spoken for, and the tune on the car will stay on the ECU.

Once I get it, I'll post pics. Hopefully, by the end of next summer, it'll be faster than my RL is now. We'll see though...

Lol!!! Well... I was gonna keep it quiet until I just got it then post some pics of it.

But, since you asked, I'll be getting a 2008 Saturn Sky Redline in black, with black roof and black leather. After doing some research and test driving it, I'm going for the automatic transmision since it's faster then the manual in the 0-60 and I really didn't like the feel of the clutch in the 5 speed. Another bonus, is that my fiance will be able to drive this car since she can't drive a manual transmision.

good choice on the automatic,tech also told me the auto tranny has a higher stress load,so if you upgrade the turbo,your tranny is safe.

AH! Great choice! You'll still be in a saturn, and saturns are sexy. I LOVE the sky redlines (better looking than solstices IMO). I want a white one with red and black leather, in manual.

+rep for getting a nice car, and good luck with the mods. I know Hahn Racecraft have a turbo kit out for the 2.4L that give it 4-500 hundred more hp.

I'm not 100% sure if the bags are spoken for... Someone is interested in them though. I can let you know this week if they're taking them or not.
