  • how can an SL1 have twin cams? I thought only SL2 had twin cams

  • my 93 satty will get a turbo hopefully soon

  • so the car did 66 mph in 10 seconds? thats horrible.

  • My step-dad uses a stock one as a drive-to-work-vehicle. He drives over 100 miles a day so he needed something good on gas. It now has over 215,000 miles on it. Stock they only have 100 HP, but they have 114 lb. ft. of torque so it feels pretty peppy.

  • Sucks dick junk

  • That's a Saturn SL2. Not an SL1!!

    Anyway, my 2008 Buick is faster than that!

  • @Keither754 No shit a 2008 car is going to be faster dipwad.

  • fuckin piece of shit ese. my smaller than that engine and i cum faster.

  • I got an SL1 1995, i want to tune mine up like yours, can you tell me step by step, what you did? by the way, "sweet car"..... Thanks.

  • but the true? which car is better saturn or honda??

  • Put it this way anyone who hates on saturns most likely have never been in one.

  • I forgot to say it was a saturn we were in....

  • reminds me when some "need for speed" looking green light car pulled up to us at a stop light....... next thing i know we drag raced the person at, and we pulled/ took of past them! :)

  • @iAnquish if you look it says 1/8 mile for starters. you are the fucking retard lol

    dumb ass

  • r u sure thats not 126km

  • where did u get your strut bar message me if u can im trying to get one

  • Man.. I have a 2002 Saturn SL2 that I've been dying to tune up for a while now. But ever since Saturn went out, I don't really want to do anything to lower the value of the car, because over time it's going to be worth a lot more than people are thinking.

  • huh.... i got the same car. didnt think u could do that

  • I have a Ion redline.... $100 says I win lol

  • Did any one notice his service engine lights were all on? time to get a tune.

  • i think these cars r fun to play with, but ur racing it? what does it run in the quarter? 8th is nothin, just cars that have the 1st few gears, all cars r quick in the 8th, who doesnt luv top speed in the 1/4

  • u guys are nuts, i have a saturn and i baby it . it would probably last a long time.

  • I got a 1991 saturn sc twin cams with 330k still can burn my 98 jetta off the line any day!

  • im going to build a older sl2 with a ecotec turbo. that would be a beast ass car 5 speed of course, and still get great gas mileage, no honda would really compare to that for the price id have invested.

  • ppl who drive saturns get no pussy

  • @wetlikewater HAHA my 96 sc2 has gotten more naked women in it than my bed. you get no pussy

  • I like that someone's tuning these cars. You ppl who are trying to say it's slow compared to (pick ur favorite car)- you're comparing apples to oranges. It's quicker than STOCK, ok? Who cares which other cars could beat it in 1/4 or whatever? It's cool to see someone do something with this car cuz not too many people do. It's something different than the usual riced-out Civic or Integra that I see EVERY DAY.

  • @Thepylot78 Yea but there isnt really a point to tuning these cars unless you put an entirely different engine in them. Waste of money if you ask me. Saturns have always since day one been built dirt cheap. Probably the cheapest built car in the western world. Id rather see someone waste their money on a honda that actually has potential.

  • 02 saturn with 64k miles on it

  • I have a '97 SL1 as well. But mine has a gold hood on it. And my car is blue. The exact opposite of your car. Wanna trade? I'm not even kidding right now.

  • SES light is on lol. for a saturn that means its running good lol. we get worried when it goes out o.o

  • @longwavefurry My SES light is on in my 97 but I know it's my EGR (had the code checked). Easy fix but it's still 100+ dollars.

  • @Thepylot78 hey with your egr jus get a toothbrush and some mean green and clean that sucker youll be fine

  • @longwavefurry hahaha that is sooo true mines been on forever it started blinkin the other damn and i was like ooooo fuck then is stopped amd stayed lit up n its all fine now lol

  • @longwavefurry fuck ya we do ;D

  • my 1996 saturn sl1 has 193827 miles on it, need to replace right side drive shaft and redo my brake pads.

  • @ritmotraveler Mine only has 108 thousand, almost 109, and I just recently had to replace my brake pads also. And the rear drums are at 50%. But other than that, I've had absolutely no problems. They're great cars! :D

  • if ur car is a dual overhead,its a SL2. I have a 2001 SL1 and only added a cold air kit, and relocated my breather to the front of th engine Im looking for a turbo that will fit.

  • Look, this is not the KITT (knight industries two-thousand) or nowhere near it for that matter. Don't ruin the theme song. My crew cab could be that thing, and i'm not even joking, that's slow considering that car weighs nothing.

  • @2001silverado363 Dude... that's not the point. These things top out at 70 stock, mmkay?? That guy just had to pull some fucking mechanical magic to make the speeds in this video. Don't be a douche.

    (If you had a Saturn SL, you'd understand)

  • @LaSantaDeVita All I'm saying is it's not a third gen like kitt was. If I drove a piece of shit, maybe I would know. 70 stock? hmm...that's weird!

  • @2001silverado363 yeah, 72-73 stock. *Might* be able to get it to 80, if I wanted to sit there, pedal to the floor in fifth, for five minutes while it gains that last 7-8 mph.

    Some of us drive these pieces of shit (and that's pretty much what they are), but they're real soldiers with some modest potential. Mine has 227,000 miles with all original parts (except the cat. converter that I just bought), and it's running like a champ. For those of us who love these POS's, it's cool to see this shit.

  • @LaSantaDeVita Hey, I'm not bashing the car for its durability! I'm just saying I'd like to race one with a pickup to see the outcome.

  • Im glad to see other people tuning Saturns...you should go check out mine its 97 sl2 with a few mods.

  • a virgin.

  • wow a 1/4 mile in 20 secs???? that would scare the shit out of me??? get a real car drop the match box toys

  • I have pretty much the same car, but mine's a 96 not a 97. They have pretty good acceleration. I have no mods and I pull from 2nd doing about 58mph-65mph. I need to do an oil change on it soon though.

  • I gotta a tricycle that can do the same

  • saturns are pretty cool i just bought one from my dad and it gets great gas milege

    i drive it to school everyday

  • ok first off, the ecotec motor is NO joke, you can mod them up to and over 1000hp!! The saturn redline IS faster (stock to stock) than a chevy cobalt (weight) LOOK IT UP!!

  • wow you are a dumbass LMFAO!!!!!

  • we smell our own!!

  • by the way i been a mechanic for 15+ yrs for GM, ford, and BMW, ive also raced cars probally before u were soup in ur moms crack, so laugh your ass off...come to the race track and i bet my ecotec will smoke whatever u got!

  • @weapondragon lol @ ecotec

  • nice headers (or is it header?)

  • its header

  • I have a 2000 SL1 how the heck do u get them to not shut off @ 110 mph, let me know i cant mod ne more bc of that.

  • These cars, SL1 cars are realy cool. Lowest center of gravity and light weight don't hurt :)

  • 10 sec in an eighth mile isnt fast at all tell us how fast in a quarter

  • LOL both ses and service wrench lights are on.

  • please hang your self

  • im glad to hear that because i want to fix up my saturn

  • so are saturns like the cheap version of chevy's or something ? i never really got what purpose this brand served.....

  • Saturn was probably there most eco friendly brand. They all got fairly exceptional gas mileage and were/are reliable.

  • the dohc motor first showed up in geo storms and that car was fairly quick BUT... the engine is a design of a dohc honda motor only in 2002 or 3 did chevy fuck everything up and put that gay ecotec motor in them and the red line is just as slo as a cobalt ss

  • i hope the redline is asslow as balt ss/sc... they have exactly the same engine­...

    and btw i way prefer saturn to chevy or Honda

  • saturns were on their own chassis completely, that is until 2002.

  • yo grey your right but saturn are out of business the car is still good to used as a project but stick with import and tuner that waht im stick with

  • dude both your service and service engine soon lights are on. what gives?

  • doesnt necessarily mean theres something wrong with the car. certain uhmm...home-made upgrades could cause those lights to go on without actually messed up the engine

  • Well now that i read he swapped the motor and PCM i now understand why they are going off.

  • oh, he did? i didnt notice that, but yea, unless he did a very good rewiring job, the computer would go crazy cuz of that

  • well 10.5 in the 1/8 isn't that fast, come back when your doing 10.5 in the quarter

  • whose the dumbass? i know saturns are GM....they were plannin on shuttin down saturn manufacturing.....i still dont know whatyour trying to proove by telling me somthing i alread know....

  • ok...so imports are slow stock...end of story. unless your talkin bout an evo or skyline. american muscle cars were fast RIGHT from the getgo. trans am firebird....it had a 454 ci in there....if you can get traction and everything and no spin...that thing could rip an import down...flat....and thats just stock. imagine em with a huge super charger, plus 250 hp chip....there crazy. my truck puts out more horsepower stock than any stock ricer, and just as much as many suped up ricers....

  • chevys stock 454 has no more than 250hp but it almost has 400 pounds of torqe! THATS MASSIVE!!!

  • if u know ur american cars Saurn is a GM product... dumbass

  • I respect both side but dude a 300zx could beat that car or an sti

  • dude true, but i have a qustion for you sir do you consider a dodge viper muscle or ricer? i mean yes its made in america but it has a V10. and dodge decided to put that in the new dodge ram SRT10

  • a muscle...i mean...its not a TRUE muscle car. i consider muscle a big block chevy or ford. its not a crappy car that someone supes up. yeah a saturn can be ricer. but i dont think anyone would be callin it a ricer if he was doin 8's (if thats even possible).

  • Lmfao, your youtube name suits you. Ever heard of POWER to WEIGHT Ratio? Your truck could have 500hp, and my car could have 500hp. I'd win, because first off you probably drive an automatic so you can still hold your beer while you're driving around shit faced, but secondly you probably can't shift to save your life. Knock on imports all you want, but a lot of these so called muscle cars that are fast from the get go are the 70k factory models, already boosted anyway.

  • your right bro. your def. right. cept i drive stick....but those 351 w's and 429's weigh a lot more than a 1.9 ltr. plus, the bodys on those old cars are so much heavier.....your 100% right. a semi has 1,000+hp but its not any faster than my 1245 hp sl2. plus the muscle cars put out a lot of torque. i just hate imports. i know there better, i know GM sucks and american cars suck...i juste hate imports. my friends race with imports and their fast....but idk. im just biased.

  • To each their own. Most people don't like the looks, that usually throws them off. I like the way they look and feel when driving, but some of them can be horribly fucked up in the wrong hands (i.e. the mexicans around here) So I can see why one would be biased given a bad image of the car. Or if you just don't like them at all, don't need a reason

  • ha ha thanks man. nah like, i think they look cool and all. theres just somthin like the rumble of a big block with dual glasspacks and the look of a super chargin commin out of the hood. but yeah, im still just biased ha ha. what you drive?

  • I'm a poor 18 year old who's car (98 escort... only thing that made it fun was that it was manual) got wrecked by an old man, and the insurance claimed with HIM and not me xDDD But I do know what you mean, this guy at my college has a nice cobra gt, the 2000 ish model with glass packs, and it rumbles quite nicely. I love that roar, but I like the handling aspects of smaller cars. I will be driving a civic soon (Meh) cause my college funding is paying for it xDD

  • It says SL1 but its really an SL2 unless he changed the gages

  • hey, i need help from someone

    i have a 1999 saturn SC2, and when i get around 85-90mph, i get this vibration in the back of the car...from what ive figured, one or both of the rear wheels arent balanced properly. anyone know how much it would cost to get them rebalanced?

  • okay i have a 98 satrun sl1 and how in the hell do you get the top speed governor off!!!!!

  • you have to disable inside the computer. once it gets up to 104 or something it shuts power off to the plugs

  • Comment removed

  • No on mine it shuts down at 114MPH and I have a 92' Saturn.

  • swap the PCM with a SC which is limited to 126 I believe

  • aahah i had one of these and i live in a mobile home park too (same color too, gold)

  • wow what a ricer

  • Your mother is also a ricer :S

  • u are a ricer and if u dont have a import ur jus a fag

  • Your mother is imported.

  • your mothers an american shit box

  • fag

  • i race saturns i hv a stock ls2 well it has intake n beets a lot of tooners its preety sick ill put some vids on soon

  • this car is pretty fucking weak..

  • service engine soon.

  • comp shut down at 127 !!!

  • deal, this car is just so amazing

  • ill give u my ass just as long as i get urs

  • gtrider, i want your ass

  • O baby let me get some of that

  • are you retarded?

  • Congratulations... you beat an Eco-tec

  • hahahaaaa computer shut down at 126 hahahaa but took a few minutes to get there... hahhaaaa

  • I like the "service engine soon" and the "service" lights on I bet that turns good #'s at the track!!! Service wrench light means your walking soon!!

    I have a 96 SL2 (with cat back and I opened up the restricted intake) that will smoke your car I know for a fact cus you showed your time slip and mine has 212K miles on it. I haven't spent a lot of time trying to make it fast and dogging it out at the strip every weekend like you!!!

  • a 10.5 1/8th mile is horrible.. thats like a 16.5s in the 1/4mi

  • That was truly pathetic. How can it take 15-20 seconds to go from 96mph to 120mph? I don't think anything else on the road is that slow.

  • And you're surprised? Every body know that's a piece of shit hand me down car, cause majority of the market wont buy the shit brand. Oh by the way! To the owner of this video, thank you for disgracing the knight rider song with this sorry ass even a turbo slapped on can not even help it in the speed and performance department.

  • The best the saturn could hope for far a major power gain is from a small turbo addition. As well as a shift kit and improved gearing on the axel.

    Only worth a low buck build unless your willing to put out the big smackers.

    If in that case:

    -Forged pistons at 8.5:1

    -Headers that are as small yet free flowing

    -A small turbo tuned to amplify power in the low end

    -If possible, custom grind a set of cams

    -ignore stupid body kits,large rims(includes spoilers)

    -invest in a set of good rubber.

  • headers+turbo

    1. its a 4 cylinder=1 header

    2. cant have header and turbo

  • It's not worth slapping any big bills with this sorry ass vehicle,unless you're a retard that wants to make a pointless statement.

  • my 1997 SC2 beat a stock 98 (or 99) V6 mustang, 99 tourus with the 3.0, civic 1.6 vtech... this was jsut a race to about 110km/h with my buddies and just for fun. but i cant complain for a cheap car that is pretty amazing on gas

    people laugh at saturn but it ends up out performing a lot of cars on the road

  • Wow.

    That 0-126 part, I got bored at about 30, scrolled down, read a page of comments, and you were still at 80.

    Good god.

    Just throw it away.

  • hhahahaha, lol

  • Cool Saturn, Check my POS out : ) my vids

  • this... really isn't anything to brag about...

  • I knew once I saw the car parked in a trailer park it was gonna be slow. I was right. You fail

  • lol, what a piece of shit!!!

  • eh man, (or any of you) do you have any problems with shifting like this?

    like hes going past the start of the redline in 1st and 2nd... does he have any mods and stuff in this car to help it be able to do that without possibly blowing up or overheating or anything along those lines.

    seems like it is still running good and the rev limiter wasn't kicking in was it...

    whats the deal with this car?

  • Its called the RPM governer, built in to the Majority of the Saturns are equiped with them and all you have to do is find a way to remove it. Im trying to remove mine but it cost a bit of money which i dont have, and saturns run nice even if you redline, Probaly runs a intercooler in the car though.

  • nahhh man its how the car is, i have a saturn sl2 4 door 1996 and it was stock with a preformance button which what it does is for autos only is rev ur RPS up for you and its basically made for like getting on the interstate or something u need speed for but its also like a built in stock turbo its pretty tite!!

  • fucking retard he has a dual cam engine..they rev to 6700 rpm fucktard

  • HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

    AAHAHAHAHAH

    i have a 96 sl2

    HAHAHAHHAHAHA

    the black button under the stero right? right about the cup holders? red light comes on when you push it?

    at night, step outside your car, toggle it, you'll see what it does.

    (fog lights)

  • before my wifes 93 sw2 blew up (its a saturn, duh) I ran it at the local track just to see how pathetic it was... 10.38 seconds stock and slower than an s-10 extreme by a good bit, but still faster than yours, lol. What's 3rg gear?

  • i got a 1996 saturn Sl 4 door too, what mods can i do to it, i can't find any suited up saturns anywhere

  • i got a 99 SC2 its automatic which sucks, but try doing a new cold air intake, wires/plugs (Bosch iridiums work well), coil packs, and a header, all of which are pretty easy to change out. I did all of those plus struts/sways, the thing runs great

  • its the preformance button i have an sl2 4 door 1996 also and all that is is the preformance buttons idk if the sl's have them though

  • You know whats Crazy??

    those late 90s S series give off a foreign car look not to mention those sedans are roomy Sporty cars which only look like casual rides But yet theye AMERICAN RIDES HAHA!!

    just like my 98 Sl2!!

    just like my 98 Sl2!!

  • haha saturn, my buddy had one and i lost count on how many times i killed him in my thunderbird

  • WTF?!?!? Your 1/8th mile is a 10.8? HAHAHAHAAH. My Crown Victoria runs faster than that!

  • looks pretty decent for an American made family sedan

  • idk why people hate saturns.. theyre actually faster than people assume.. ive never lost to a civic (which ricers assume are hte fastest cars) ive destroyed eclipses ( yes all makes n models) and celicas....and im only at 110 hp

  • i have beet hondas in my saturn wagon

  • lol i seriously dont doubt that

  • I my stock sl2 beat our a stock civic...only cuz he didnt know how to shift :D Damn rev limiter will kill you on saturns though

  • the scariest part about any of this...is that someone will watch this and go WOAH MAN, AWESOME CAR.

    I am not one to care about speed, so I don't care about that part, but cosmetically, it looks horrible.

    I can say though, thats great about the mileage, thats one thing about those cars that is good. Its just a simple, efficient, reliable car. Thats it.

    Glad you enjoy it as much as you seem to.

    But on a side note...there are no bragging rights in beating an ecotec cavalier.

  • ok, yikes dude

    konig rims.. okay nice, but.. stock black plastic bumpers, skirts, ..a metallic green center piece between the headlamps, and a green hood, along with a green or black spoiler. .i know usually it's run what you brung but if anything i'd run from what you brung. god damn that thing is screaming rice.. blue and yellow clashes too much and it looks like shit under the engine . rated 1 of 5

  • not to bad

  • yikes

  • wow! only a 1.9 sweet man... btw i hope yer motor goes kaboom! oh i like the sound of it

    5/5 man

  • haha i have the same car bought for 800 bucks what a slow ass piece of shit

  • Hahah same here

  • i dont hate to say it but your videos crap, you cant see a frickin thing threw the whole video and im pissed at myself for waisting 5 mins and 42 secs of my life for watching a blury crappy video. you had some cool color changing effects oooohhh wow. vid sucks doesnt show your car doing anything just what you wrote. make a beter vid.

  • a dude whats up with those heads... where did you get those?

  • just stop.

  • Lookin' good for 300K+ miles! Keep that 1.9L running strong! :D

  • where did you find the head for the swap? and how much did it run you?

  • swapped the whole motor, ECM and guages!

  • damn man that is a lot better than mine then again mines stock and a single overhead cam...309,000 mile good freakin gosh

  • so its a 20 sec 1/4 mile saturn wow lol

  • whats the name of the song??

  • yawn

  • My truck eats bmw z4m coupes all day long!!!!!

    and i mean all day long

  • Fucking hate you saturn haters!

  • yea umm saturn suks ass man tipical american car europeans r the best my m3 can kill it yo n its stock

  • yeah umm lets not compare apples to oranges! a saturn is the bottom line GM econo car a BMW ia a finely crafted German Sport car! Huge Difference Dumb ass! why don't you try your M3 against a Dodge Charger Daytona or SRT-8?? or even better yet how about a Cadillac CTS-V??

  • Sorry but 10.48 @ 67 in the 1/8th isn't fast. Not worthy of a video.

  • Haha i do a 1/4 in 10 sec, on my bicycle

  • man u need to tune up ur car. took u 10 secs to get to 60. i can get mine in 9 sec and 8.8 sometimes

  • Did anyone catch the fact that it took this car some 26 seconds to do a 0-120? No props, its just a saturn

  • for real come to nh and race me in my sti...lol 1/4 in 10 @ 67 mph?

    yeah...

  • 1/8......

  • what did you have done to this car? i have a SOHC SL.  check out my autocross vids.

  • What's up with that engine check light? Mine has it too, but nothing is wrong.

  • Cool vid. But im too much for my sohc. I got everything but a turbo kit..My best time has been 15.69..Sorry but sohc for the win.
