Thread: Fail AD for a Sky Redline

Tapp Motors - 2008 Saturn Sky Red Line
So it's a 5 speed with a supercharged 6speed... How does that work? Do you have a second shifter to select the boost you want the supercharger to put out? If first gear is 6.5 psi is 6th gear going to be 25?? Does it have a second clutch pedal as well?

5 forward gears, 1 reverse

5+1 = 6. What's not to get? lol

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they turbocharged instead of supercharged?

yes

They are the same setup as in the Cobalt SS/TC.

Turbo/Intercooled 2.0 DOHC Direct Injected Ecotec.

Transmission was a AR-5 only...so it is just a misprint.

Fail ad for a Sky Redline

Just sayin'

The solstice is incredibly ugly, they did right with the Sky. Front end doesn't look like a bubble.

Sky is beast. Just like the opel version.

Notice how we are still talking about the same car practically with rebadging by GM... And people will pay more for one or the other.... GM wins on this one. Although it is annoying as hell

Considering GM doesnt sell opel here... Why not? Badge engineering isnt bad imho, unless youre talking seriously cloning the cars in the same market (pontiac g5 and cobalt for example)

Same drivetrain, yes, but different body. In this case, the body makes a huge difference because who wants this:

You are literally the only person I have ever heard say that. That's why you're a moron

Agreed the Solstice is an ugly thing. My aunt has a yellow Sky Redline. It's pretty awesome, but I'd expect more power for the price of the car. Srsly d00dz.

Whelp.

Juan wins.

It is all matter of opinion. I can't see why every thread on another car is ugly ugly ugly.

It's boring.

The Solstice was in the movie because it's a Pontiac, and Pontiac is better associated with performance than Saturn. The Sky is pretty much the only "sports" car ever branded with the Saturn name.

And to further help my point.

Both cars have been X'd from GM...so apparently they both suck.

done.

IBTL?
