If it is anything like the saturn they attempted to compete with a few years back then the more the marrier...They can't hide beyind 25k turbo's to make power in this class so we will see if their motor design is worth a damn.

I think it would be an valued addition to the AM class. Mazda has joined in, Ford may be coming in and GM would be great for the exposure of that class

It was part of the Saturn Motorsports program. I honestly never saw a clean pass out of it though. Always had something break or not work properly...

I think the driver was Nick Novak ??

I remember that car...... ( see pic )


It made very decent power, but the trans was holding it back. Plus, the chassis, IMO, sucked It was a hack job from 3 or 4 different people. That motor, in a car with a good trans and good chassis would be up there with the best of em.

Yeah, they had a 2 speed in the car...

I did hear that they had anouther trans for the car, but Saturn would not let them run it.

The trans they wanted to put in the car was a 6 speed audi I think. The car made real good power but like was said before had lots of chassis problems.

Nick worked real hard on the car by himself alot. He deserved at least one good pass in the car.

If GM is getting back in to all motor, Nicks got my vote to pilot

I'm pretty sure that 6-speed trans was used in an all-motor car during "Ford" era...

I agree, but remember, they are going to come in and when they do, they will go full force just like they did in all other classes, so be prepared
