Default Saturn Sky Turbo

I'll make this real short and to the point...

My S2K- E/TP/4.77's/Spray

Sky- Stock

Ok, so im still breaking in my 4.77's so i dont want to shift fast/hard. We did a 40 roll or something around there and we were dead even. I hope my shifting very slow and easy had a lot to do with it. I noticed right off the bat i pulled a little on him before i had to shift, then by the time i shifted he would catch up each time. I guess i answered my own question if my shifting had a lot to do with it lol. No spray, obviously.

Hmmmm..Rolling, I thought we would be a good race. But still think you should have pulled if it was indeed, stock....(Given your mods)



Ouch

you have to re-do this race, do it at 100% (but no spray though), this is not an accurate measurement of the quickness...

Sounds way off. I raced one about 3 weeks ago from a 2nd gear roll and put about 3 cars on it til' 105mph. And I have the same mods minus the spray.

How do you know the car was stock...turbo cars can easily pick up big gains by increasing boost.

There is a dealer installed GM Tune upgrade that jacks the power up A LOT. Quirky but formidable rides ..
