24n12RedLine

Well there was a guy in the RedLine Forums wanting us RedLine owners to come with our opinion. So here is mine. The car is fabulous. And the cobalt ss is a Saturn Redline with a different rear and front and bigger tires and im sure a few other mods. But basically the same car, which i am not too happy about cause i love having a car that is so unique on the road right now, but i can get over it. The cobalt ss will be hot. I definately wanna see what 18's look like on my car. Anyone that is thinking about taking the step to buying the ss jump on it. First of all you will have a flagship car in its first year of development. The gm performance division already did their homework with saturn to make this a great car. Dont have any worries...i love my car and would not trade it for anything else in its class or even a class higher. If anyone wants to trade me a 2005 porsche 911 for my ion redline though please email me at once. If anyone has any questions i will be happy to answer them.
thanks and have fun with the new car.

Welcome to the board

Good to hear you like your Redline. Got any pics?

Hey, welcome to the site! We were just saying in another thread that it would be great if we had some Redline owners on the site, to give us reviews and opinions and let us know if they are modifying them and how they like the car in general. Thanks for taking the first step, get some more people to post here and let us know how they like the Redline!

sweet encouragement from an RL owner glad to see its not turning into the sunfire/cavalier war thats been going on for years

BigRed

which is pointless anyway; everyone knows sunfire's are better

only 03+

Thanks for coming over and sharing your opinion. Once the Cobalts get in and we start tuning, we'd love to see a larger group of RL owners. Afterall, the car may be different in design..but we share the same engines. That, and you guys will always be the originals with this platform. :mrgreen:

zstyle

Good points. Although the cars share the same platform and drivetrains, I don't think that they are as similar as the sunfire/cavalier. The Redline is a 4 door (quad-coupe) with quite a different look and definitely different interior, besides the fact that it's built on a space frame with plastic panels. LOL hopefully the rivalry results in some hardcore competition to build the cars and make them sweeter and faster, instead of constant flaming!

welcome aboard, oh and only 03+ sunfires are better.

I've had my redline for 5 days now. I LOVE it!!!!

Can't wait till the Cobalt comes out and GM starts some aftermarket stuff.

I'd already like to get a couple hundred more revs out of her before the limiter kicks in. Especially in first.

As far as styling goes, the RL is a beautiful car. All I ever hear is SRT-4 this and SRT-4 that, but you know what? The SRT-4 is fugly. I don't care how fast it is, it's still a Neon and damn ugly. :P

zstyle

I agree. I don't like the look of Neons (SX 2.0 in Canada), I never have. The SRT-4 is an awesome car and has really led to a boom in affordable sport compacts, but I think both the interior and exterior are ugly. The styling of both is definitely a major advantage that I think the Cobalt holds over it.

RedCavyRS99

Im going to have to agree with you 2 the neons arent good looking cars i like the RL a hell of alot more i even like the RL a little more then the cobalt (shhh dont tell Jonel :P ) But i really think GM has struck something with the two cars they have an appeal that GM has been lacking for the past few years.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.


*whispers*

me too






:mrgreen:

saturnd00d

SHHHHH, me three.

Anyways, I know that the cobalt SS will spark up some friendly competition the two cars, but I know that there will be mutual respect for both cars. Both are leading GM's compacts into the next age, and finally getting old man GM some much-needed presence in the tuner segment.

SHHHHH me 4!

I really like Chevy. The s/c SS is a sweet Chevy

Got my Redline 9/1, first day of the rebates. I still love it! got about 2k miles, no problems. Feels good, sounds good, looks good :mrgreen:

JPK

Is that all?

I've had mine for a week. When I drove it off the lot it had 292 miles on it. Now it's got 1650 and some change!!! LOL!!!

I did drive mine on a five hour, each way, trip to San Antonio over the weekend though.

I cannot stop driving this thing. It's a blast.

i guess i'm an old timer
my RL has 6500 miles on it
it has been excellent
the cobalt will have the same numbers as the Red Line
since the whole drive train is the same
the cobalts tires might increase the skidpad numbers
and i think the colbalt i a little lighter. the RL is 2,900 lbs.

you guys are going to love this car.

i'll have to test drive one when they come out to compair.
good day all.

motorheadkev

This is going to be an excellent forum
There is so much activity already and the car is not in production yet.
Very nice
Good day all

have to say that i love my redline! it is a great car, just coming up to my 6000mi oil change! no problems at all! you'll love this beast (s/c only :twisted: ) its kewl if you opt for the base model, but the s/c is the way to go for sure, hopefully gm puts out that 270 hp kit for us ALL
