are they in or out for 04???????

 

I hear in but only with the pro car...

 

i should call them....maybe they can help...(not in racing, but the suspension situation)

 

I DO KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THEIR TEAM IS GETTING SMALLER....

 

yep, saturn won't be racing the all motor car next season. i think they are focusing on lisa and the pro car.

 

what! no 13 sec pro all motor car just screwin around, thats kinda a bummer

 

That is correct...Nick Novak will not be driving the all motor car next year. I don't know what will happen to that car though. I heard that Saturn also had a Pro4Cyl. car that was built and that they may bring out this season. We shall wait and see...

yep

 

Saturn sales are waaaaaaay down. Budget is probably getting smaller.

 

how embarrasing, run mid-high 11's if that all season and then just give up after you figure your set up is trash and Ron Shaver can't even build a motor to make some real whp Ill tell you, i want to congratualate whoever is in charge of their marketing, that makes me want to buy a saturn now, proven motor huh What are these people thinking, i don't think they could have found anyone more incompitant to do the job.

 

i tought that the saturn cars had eco-tec engines?

 

They do.

 

Who is antigravity??? Lisa's car makes over 1000 whp. Isn't that enough for you??? I think the auto trans in the All Motor car, hurt it, more than it helped..

 

Also, the all motor Saturn ran a larger motor at the end of the season and they ran 11.2-11.3. They never had any time to perfect that system.

I think it is childish to bash someone for running slow when they are out there trying new ideas with a new motor. Its not like they have all of the proven setups like us Honda guys.

That all motor car didn't make much power, but was still impressive.

i agree. people forget what it was like only 4-5 years ago with hondas. no one has tried to do anything with a saturn as far as import racing or making all out power until the last 2 years. lisa's car hasn't been running for a year yet and she is running SICK numbers. nicks car may not have impressed some people but considering he had NO real platform to work off and literally had to do trial and error testing while still trying to campaign the car, i think he did ok. if you gave those guys another 3 years to research, test, and tune, i'm sure they'd have run some VERY respectable numbers.

 

Nick and Kerry did the best they could with what they had. I've seen Nick grow from a bracket racer at Qualcomm Stadium to a major participant in NOPI and NHRA. He has come a long way as an individual and racer. Although there were some ups and downs, he finished the season and continued to maintain a positive attitude.
