A 700HP Saturn Sky is Hilariously Dumb
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 май 2024
- The Saturn Sky is not usually what comes to mind when thinking of an American sports car icon. It was also the Opel GT and Pontiac Solstice - so the chassis was well known around the globe. However with it's ecotec engine not a lot of people pushed the car to it's full potential...so crazy people swapped them to things such as..the 2JZ? Paul the owner of this Saturn has spent years of his life turning this Saturn Sky into an absolute rocket ship. So let's see if the hard work paid off.

The way the hardtop molds/blends into the spoiler looks really sick
Meant to be
I concur.
yeah im blown away by how cool this car is.
Yeah, it's almost like the Z top hard top for 986 Porsche boxters
Well the top was such a pain to put down originally, I suppose this solves that.
"How's come the first time I drive a car, it's never stock." You've done this to yourself good sir! 😂
The Temu C6 Corvette
I LOL'd
....with a 6 cylinder (2jz) engine. Your comment makes zero sense...👎
@@boosted2.4_skylook at it. Tell me it doesn’t look like a Chinese knockoff corvette
@@RockinTheDub I've got a 500 hp 2008 Sky...
I can affirm that it is a tiny Vette 🏁
@@boosted2.4_sky well 103 people understood the joke so purely based on common sense your comment is the one that makes zero sense.
Yess!!! Such a cool car for its time. Doesn’t get the credit it deserves for Saturn to give it a go
Intro music Goes Crazy
Underground Sound by Joey Valence & Brae they tuff
I was like when is this going to end had skipped to the video
@@b_3725love those guys they are the closest we'll ever get to a modern day version of the Beastie Boys
@@b_3725 Real Beastie Boys sound, vibe and quality!! Thanks for the info!
@@james10739 I'm sure your friends love having you over 😘
Building a solstice GXP now. LS swap for mine
I'm going 1jz
Yeeeeahhhh don't let em die fellas!
sick
You're really just doing more than you need to... the Ecotec 4 cylinder makes as much power with a turbocharger as that V8 ever will...
@@boosted2.4_sky LSA is supercharged
700hp this car should be a rocket ship.
Nice intro music choice! I just saw Joey Valance in Utah
Thanks man! Only song I could use for copyright - but their stuff slaps.
FORMULA Drift back in 2009 had a LS Swapped one. Awesome.
Yep saw it at Atlanta drift
I love this! A few years ago a local dealership had 2x pristine Solstice GXP's in the showroom, Red and Yellow. Fell in love with that platform ever since.
For some reason I have the urge to build a Saturn now, wtf have you done to me.
The car has been around for a long time.. it's good to see that car still running and still in good shape good review. 👍🏽🏁
Honestly can’t believe how well this thing drove. Thoughts?
I have a Solstice GXP I’m motor swapping. With a little work they are a blast
They're supposed to be a blast to drive! My aunt had one. Sky redline. I never drove it but my cousin said it was a a lot of fun!!
I really love this build. Always wanted to put a Buick 3800 in one of those cars
This is a swap I've been wanting to see for a long time! I love that chassis, all it needed was power
@@harkin3684 the 2.0 turbo that comes in it makes more power
This was my first dream car back when I was still small enough to fit in one. It's crazy how all these years later, it's still such a great looking car.
Dude i was looking at this car recently, and you drop this! It's turning into one of my favorite American cars.
Theres quite a few Solstice GXPs for cheap, its the factory hard top ones that are insanely expensive. Think they only ended up making like 1,000 of em, and they're super clean.
Always liked the Sky it looks great with that hard top
I just seen this car run it at the drag strip last weekend, surprised the hell out to me…it’s badass!
I like how you can clearly see the opel design
I seen this car in Florida a few years ago at the Bradenton Drag Strip!!!! This specific car started my love for the SKY!!!
User to be someone in Europe who drifted a 2JZ Opel GT and it always looks scary as f*** but that looks so much fun. I'm sure a lot of work went into developing how the power is delivered and put down, great job zzp!
Day 1,582 of me trying to get my 1996 Mystic Cobra in your hands to review.
Is it interesting beyond the paint?
@@thetruthwithin1 Very, I've been building it since 2009.
@@thetruthwithin1no
I see a DF Goblin in the background! Hoping for a review on that soon! 🤙
That’s the owner of the Sky’s “other ride”
Dude I have pics of this car at grid life Atlanta years ago! Sick ass car
My dad has been telling me for years that he wants to get one of these. I really think he should just do it.
Things are kinda sick ngl
Adam LZ LS Swapped his Moms Solstice you need that car in your life !!!!!!!
Probably your best opening david!!!
This is absolutely beautiful. I feel like the time was spent well to research and really mate all the things together. Love the body work and the small details added around the car. This is a LOOKER for sure.
Damn that intro went hard! Great work as always!
It's rare I see a video and think that I need to see it. However, this one could not go without being watched
That’s a true thing abt Saturn owners. My sis had a first get SL2 and got into a wreck next thing she bought was a second gen SL2. She still wishes she could have her second gen to this day even tho she’s in a Lexus es now
I felt like breaking on that new intro. Dude. Cool. This car is sick. I always wondered why these cars didn't develop in the tuner community. And it's twin the solstice. Nice. ❤❤😮💪👌😎
I love these cars. I want to ls7 swap one like Hot Rodder magazine did. It's so cool gm designed it specifically for an ls swap!
Hard 🔥🔥
Nice video altough i was waiting for David to rip it like the old mk4 supra videos from texas where he was giving them the beans.
I was 100% throttle. The car is just that well setup, and the gearing is long enough to send you into space.
SO SICK! I love it
My mom had a manual sky and even stock it got tons of head turns.
You always know when David likes a car by how much time he puts into the intro
A none clickbait title, nice one
I drove a saturn sky once as a valet. This was a tiny car designed for shorter people. I'm 6'3 and I could barely fit in the car. The 30 second drive was painful and I struggled to even enter or exit the vehicle.
Toss my like at Paul for this one! Very cool seeing this car evolve over the years!
Man I love your videos. That music in the beginning was such a breath of fresh air from the typical car edit shit most everyone uses.. Loved it
Amazing!
GM chassis built to compete with a Miata paired with a Toyota engine, a Tremec manual gearbox, and a Ford rear end.
A true match made in hell. And not in a nightmarish way for us human beings. More in a Doomslayer type of "made in hell" type of manner.
Keep this car underrated and away from the stance/drifters
If I remember correctly their was a saturn sky that was used as a drift car. When I played dirt 3 that was the only car I used lol
Naw folk,let whoever get'em and show'em some luv! Don't say restrict a certain style,not good for the culture.
@@audiwankenobi361"culture" 😂
@darksu6947 At this point, you're the only one who understands something funny...
@@audiwankenobi361 I also speak sarcasm as a second language.......
Seen this car over the years around Clearwater and Tampa. Thing is sick!
That’s both hilarious and terrifying. That has to be a riot to drive
Bro finds wild cars, always love it
underrated car for sure
Never thought I’d say this but I love this Saturn Sky. Makes me wonder if an RB would fit in one.
What a badass little Saturn Supra Mustang
My problem with the sky and solstice was the foot well. The pedal box is hella SMALL. I had trouble pulling one into the shop with boots on. Had to jam my foot sideways to fit in there 😂 clutching was a chore lol
I was always in love with the Saturn Sky Red Line when they came out. I ended up with a G35 instead, which I loved for 10 years. So I never got a Saturn Sky, but i still love the look, and I always thought it looked like a baby corvette. This thing is amazing.
I didn’t watch it yet just the intro and that is the coolest looking sky I have ever seen
I’ll never forget tweaking over this car the first time I saw it on the road. I was like “THATS THE 2J SKY NO FREAKING WAY” I was sending my GF pictures at the time like “do you even know the significance of what I just saw” 😂😂
This is such a cool car! I had a Saturn Aura with the 3.6 V6 and it aged so well… it’s crazy that in like 10 years you’ll probably be covering battery swaps instead of engine swaps 😳
Not gonna happen. Electric isn't sustainable.
I love my Sky. Keeping my 2.4 in it, but building the hell out of it for track purposes
I like how this edit was done. Nice transitions between shots and which were synced to the rythm.
That’s freaking clean. From the aesthetics of the looks and sounds, to the engine and transmission. Good stuff 🤙🏻
This is why I come here for videos like this, great video, such a cool build
I remember seeing this car at winterfest a few years back won the two step competition too
These cars are underrated.
Hopefully, it stays that way 🙏
We don't need this thing getting hype taxed lol.
I remember seeing this car at gridlife south back in 2018.. still got pics of it
I just finished my sleeper 2jz single cab short bed Colorado with a AR5 and love it soo much the reactions are priceless
Awesome car built by an awesome dude! Paul really went through the paces with this thing! I remember when he bought the car. It has come so far! Great presentation. The car and Paul deserve the notice. Good job sir!
So cool! I've always thought those would have been cool with a hard top and bigger engine. Love the build. Such a sweet ride.
That car is STILL gorgeous in every way... truly a classic. I owned a couple of Saturn Ions back in the day, both had over 275k miles before I let them forever sleep and the only reason was because the work that needed done on the body and suspension was more than the value of the cars.
It looks sick good work paul.
ive been waiting for this for so long! paul made such a killer car.
First off I think Paul did an excellent build.
Love the video.
I’ve always liked the sky/solstice.
I also really dig how it’s a gm car, with a Toyota engine, ford rear end and the tremec.
It seems like it shouldn’t mesh but it totally does
Again and again! Hello from Romania! Here it came first!
It looks like a Miata and corvette had a baby lol
I must admit, I did not like any of the Saturn models when they were around, but I like everything he has done with this Sky, especially the 2JZ swap.
Had one, loved it, will have another very soon
Pontiac originally designed these cars that's be powered by a V8. Chevy put a stop to that. I will assume that Chevrolet did not want Pontiac having something that might save them. Chevrolet has been trying to shut Pontiac down for years doing the same trick..
After Chevrolet told them no, Pontiac scheduled TV show called "setup", where they gave groups of contestants Pontiac Solstices that they had to engine swap with a V8 and make it race ready.
Nice
Let’s goooo!!! So hyped to see my man’s car get the attention it deserves 🤘🏻❤️🤘🏻❤️🤘🏻 see you at the tail with the “real racecar” 🙈
I always loved this car. I really love how low you sit. And the styling? Timeless and classy.
I really liked the b-roll intro David, good start for the video.
I love my Saturns, I’ve got an m62 2.4 ion. Saturn life 💪💪
never seen one of these done up and I love it
Had to watch that intro twice. Best one yet 👌
that thing looks really good and sounds great
Joey valance and brae for the intro hell yes
Love the JVB intro song!
Need a video talking about the Pontiac "returning" page from Car & Driver.
It was a joke ad. There's a disclaimer at the bottom of it. It wasn't made by GM. it was Car and Driver.
This is sick. Ive always liked these
Today I learned Opel GT Roadsters are called Saturn Sky over there.
Best intro yet!👌
Just a tidbit of info, GM actually put a LS in a solstice just to see if they could. I remember reading the article in car and driver when magazines were still a thing.
Hell yea!!! Awesome seeing Paul's car on here.
Sweet build! The car looks great
Wow that’s a really cool build, I love the mustang parts that were used !
We didnt get these in australia we got the astra turbo. Owned one myself for s few years and loved it. Was quick for a 2.0 turbo.
This car seems mental and yes the tremec gewrbox and resr end 3rd gear is so so long.
This car looks way too clean! love all these different builds!
The Sky and the Solstice were SO COOL!
Saw that thing in Tampa a couple months ago…so dope
love the stryling on these
Man I wanted to k swap one so bad but never had the chance to get one😭😭
Best looking Saturn sky ever seen. Nice intro music too.
That midori green SL2 in those clips tho lol and another guy named Paul with a unique Saturn! Crazy!
