"For a car with the words "Red Line" in its name, you might be scratching your head at the engine's curiously low 6300-rpm fuel cutoff."



MWHAHAHAH!





I just thought that was funny, the car looks and seems ( just like the GXP ) a "cool little car".

i actually was looking into that car before i bought the S. The regular Sky had an 8 month wait...imagine the wait for the red-line.

I didn't feel like waiting that long for a car
The redline is too low
It looks too short in person IMO
It's a saturn
It's a SATURN
and much more...

It's called that cause you reach the redline so quickly.

"Truck-like" engine.... ew. Reading everything the journalist had to say in that review makes it seem as of the car is everything the S2000 isn't. Lots of power through the range but missing the precise steering and drivetrain which are my favorite aspects of the S2000. Disappointing.

no surprise, but it is kinda sad that many of us were "threatened" by the soltice/sky.

not necessarily.

many dealers kept the warranty intact if you bought the comptech blower and had them put it in. That's about 300 to the wheels with only 5-6psi rather than about 220 with a head-imploding 18psi.
