This car must have an aftermarket intake... NO way these cars had that much induction noise from the factory... Sounds very nice! (better than all the modern DI turbos from Honda, they all sound like vacuum cleaners compared to this) I have nothing but respect for this guy. Race what you brought man! And always have fun. :)
Thank you! Haha yeah has a big lukewarm air intake, combined with the ‘91-‘92 4-2-1 OEM headers and Saturn Sport by HKS exhaust it is a pretty good sounding car
trailer queens get more media attention because they were made for it as it gets easier to gather fame, more people see an opportunity and try to make a name by building trailer queens, but don't worry, people who drive are also growing
while i agree, it has alot to do with over the years cops cracked down on car locals. to the point it just wasnt worth it on the street in most areas. 25k in fines, jail time, etc was enough for me to back off. i trailer my car to track if i want to have fun and drive a boring stock daily, but i also dont knock those doing what i use to do back in the day either. it took 25 years to catch up to me but when it did oh man, not fun.
@@THESLlCK licensed removed, jail, etc. yea even if they cant prove street racing, they will double charge you until you get high fines and remove license until you pay the fines. second time you get fines and jail time. 20 years of driving I never hit anyone or them hit me. worse I had was a speeding ticket for 5 over and the first time i got caught "reckless" driving like this I was caught on a house cam and had 15k in fines for running and evading. second time I got ratted out but the another car that didnt want to get in military trouble (army). That was second time and was 1year jail That was a first offense and 18k in fines. I am a careful driver and just enjoy roads when they are empty, but its just not worth it now. cops rather hide and bug empty roads than stop theft or violence in the area.
As an owner of a Gen2 Sl2....this makes me happy. I always joke around about it being the american (and Front wheel drive) version of the tofu corolla lmao. I kept mine because of the agility it has actually.
I drove a 99 sl2 while getting my permit and had a blast hooningnit around backroads ... Now I'm kinda keeping a eye out for a wagon version with a manual
@@jamesprice2163 If you went crazy you could find an auto, and swap in a different drivetrain... I plan to use a Quattro system in the future, but any fwd trans would fit with how compact modern car bays are

Yo, twin-cam Saturns can rip. My buddy had one with some el cheapo summer tires and it was easily enough to annihilate 95% of people in their sports cars. Clean Saturns are getting hard to find, but for a solid decade they were my go-to recommendation to anyone looking for a cheap car. For the price of a mint Saturn, most Hondas and Toyota's are ready for the crusher. Just don't forget to top up the oil.
Wow. Such a blessing and curse that your channel is so small. I wish others could see what you’re doing, but I hope that you guys can continue without being publicly exposed. That intro is cool asf too
What I'm finding out is that there is only 3 things you need to start learning how to drive touge. A good road to learn on, a good set of tires, and a car with a manual transmission
@@RidgeChaser a sketchier way is flicking off ur high beams or headlights entirely to view any other oncoming headlights. This can be risky tho but can be useful on solo runs.
@@RidgeChaser I use it mainly when coming up to a T intersection with a stop sign. The course I run has 2 left turns at stop signs and flashing the lights before the stop sign determines whether I can blast thru or not
My mom had one of these when I got my permit but hers was a automatic still a fun car to rip on through corners though even on balding stock tires it handled quite well even passed my brothers ek civic sedan in a corner
Good stuff. I love to see ppl touge ecotecs. But gotdayum that guy is in one of the best year civics vtecs all the way down. Your both pretty much in the same car im disappointed he gapped you. The American civic! hes got the rpms you have the torque.
Believe it or not these S Series cars didn’t come with ecotecs. They had their own in house built 1.9L you could get as a sohc or dohc with about 30ish hp between the 2
Metal shift cable bushing and previous owner chopped off about 2” of the shifter linkage off the top for sort of a DIY short throw, plus a weighted knob

He won't be the only one to go down in Saturn history..... 2023 better prepared for another saturn legend coming from IL US
Add up another from KY. I have some collision and engine damage to sort, but that means I can throw in some hp.
there was a time when tasteful mods ruled the roost and driving your modded car was top priority, now everyone has a clout chasing trailer queen.
There’s still plenty of us don’t worry my dude

These are good cars to throw deep into corners🤘💀
Always happy when the goat uploads
Love the content man. Keep it up.

& good suspension !
Good suspension is important too. A car with too much body roll, you'll have to stay way below your speed threshold.
if you could add 2 more to that it would def go to some coilovers and a decently lightweight car to better understand cornering
Saturn gettin it! Love the intro!
Wanted to always buy one of these, get it as light as possible and throw on good rubber just to see what it would do.
This is absolutely incredible :o Thank you for this amazing content! One question: How do they make sure nobody comes the other way?
Thank you! Area is either scouted, closed, or headlights are easily visible with lead time to correct the driving line.
@@RidgeChaser a sketchier way is flicking off ur high beams or headlights entirely to view any other oncoming headlights. This can be risky tho but can be useful on solo runs.
It's safe with practice, I use this when driving a car with very bright high beams
