Saturn Tribute (1985-2010)

[kreigsmann]

i like how they completely undermind the fact that aturn made SO many other cars besides the ION and SKY

theres a whole series of cars not even looked at in this video

[Z34teen]

@kreigsmann I tried to fit alot in. I only missed the Saturn Relay (rebadged Chevrolet Minivan), the Saturn outlook, and the second generation Saturn Vue. Everything else is at least represented in some way

[kreigsmann]

@Z34teen i didnt see any S series at all

wuts with the name do you have a z34?

[Z34teen]

@kreigsmann Yes. I own a 1995 Chevy Monte Carlo Z34. There's a first gen SC at 1:31, and a first gen SL at 2:12, and a second gen SW at 2:38

[kreigsmann]

@kreigsmann i didnt watch the whole movie i probably should have lol

i had a 92 z34 its basicly what you have only not as much curvy lines in the body work

if you like the 3.4 DOHC you shouldtest drive a 1996 3.4 they are w whole lot better

even stock is far better. the stats dont do it justice.

dont do what i did with mine and wreck it

they are good cars

[Z34teen]

@kreigsmann I adore my 3.4.. I plan on rebuilding the engine, using some 1996 parts when I take it off the road for a resto.... once I have another daily driver that is.

[kreigsmann]

@Z34teen thats a very good idea

but one thing you must do

that engine will outpower that transmission incredibly you need to upgrade it with better fluid and a oil cooler maybe even a deeper oil pan.

the 4t60e is a terrible FWD transmission it need to be upgraded to take the extra power they have re builders that use professional techniques.

the 3.4 engine is one of the most complex engines in the world it has 5 cam shafts a timing chain AND belt tall heads and very meen compression.

[Z34teen]

@kreigsmann and I plan to scrap the 4T60e completely in favor of a getrag 284 5 speed manual.

[kreigsmann]

@Z34teen the getrag is a EXCELLENT transmission. but they are known for case stretch.

if you get a used 284 make sure it is checked and well capably of holding the power.

aluminum cases do no do well under pressure.

[Z34teen]

@kreigsmann of course. I hate automatics.

[Z34teen]

@kreigsmann Also. FYI. I'm not a teen anymore. This account is old. I turn 21 next Tuesday.

[kreigsmann]

@Z34teen im 21 also i turn 22 in 6 months

automatics are good for certain uses but far heavy cars or very hard driving automatics are the only choice

[jnturbosc2]

yes is closing and I USED TO WORK FOR AVONDALE AZ, CLOSE DOWN IN JUNE. SCOTTDALE AZ, CLOSE DOWN IN OCTOBER & ARROWHEAD IS CLOSING IN FEB 20. this real sad a lot of our customer are pretty mad about of this situation, i saw 19 employess been lay off it was pretty sad, i will start working for VW in feb. to all Saturn fans it would never be a different kind of car company like Saturn not only becuase i used to work for it , but it really was different, i am sure a lot people would agree.

@jnturbosc2

GM is crazy for ditching Saturn. It had the 2nd highest loyalty rate in the biz for a while there (behind Lexus).  GM killed this company. I owned 4 of them and loved all of them.

[Voqa]

Are they really closing saturn? D:

[Z34teen]

Yes. the little upstart company from the 1990's is being shut down.

[feeblemind]

love the video but where is teh second gen SC2 cmon man=(

[aadailey]

Good news, Roger Penske bought the Saturn brand!

Saturn is alive and well.

[Z34teen]

I made this back when Saturn was on the chopping block. I made one for Pontiac as well, but youtube thought they'd be ho's and remove the audio, so I removed it. I am very relieved that Saturn survived. they have such potential.

[feeblemind]

not anymore no ones buying them they get the boot end of the month. Im glad pontiac went though their days of making rental cars is finally over. Sick of idiots driving Grandams and think they have a super car. Even the New GTOs are pieces of shit they are slow as a mother fucker not the same they lost their edge.

[gatornation151]

are you serious??

[Z34teen]

Yes. youtube removed the audio. I did reupload the Pontiac video on Metacafe. no problems there so far. should be easy to find. my username is the same there.

[freddylovescars]

no, the deal was cancelled. unfortunately. saturn is going out of business. don't believe me? they sent a letter to all of their customers.

[Z34teen]

I know they are. Too bad the Penske deal went through. That could've been a beautiful partnership.

[StarSage77]

Penske had no intentions of building the cars in the U.S. They were going to rebrand South Korean built Samsung/Nissan cars.

[xmakemebad35]

@Z34teen I know right gurl

[Z34teen]

O.o I'm a guy...

[aadailey]

We got our letter two days ago...

[tealcavy]

long live SATURN!!!!!
