Well I havent really had my monte long enough to get any good races yet. I've got a friend who has a 2005 Saturn Vue Redline which should be an interesting match up when the time comes. I was passanger in a Ford Focus ZX3 with 5-spd and we raced the Vue, we were only about one length behind him the entire time which is pretty good for a 140hp 4cyl. My monte will run about a 7.8 I think, and Saturn claims a 7.5 for the Vue...but we'll see bout that.
On my way home from work the other day, I raced a guy in a Ford Focus ZX3 "SVT." Light to light to light, he got more frustrated with me. I would take off at the same pace as him, then slack off, then blow past him. It was funny. I could tell from his driving that he was getting frustrated, so I slowed to pull aside of him, rolled down the window and asked "whatsa matta...you ok, man?" to which he replied, "F*** you, man." Then, I blew a kiss at him and let him "smoke" the next light while I hung back.

I wish I had a video camera.

Well I finally got to race the Saturn Vue Redline I told you guys about. I smoked him. I turned off traction control and had prob two lengths over him up to 70mph. Granted he had two more passengers than I did but they were both not that heavy. I was surprised I got him with my 3400.

really? the redline has some power... but if he had passengers that would slow him down... stock to stock the redline will take out the montes with the SC's!

maybe the kid couldnt drive stick that well?

the only track time i have is pathetic. it was when i first got the car and little did i know my trany was on its way out. and i had a Hot Air Intake too. did a 16.4 1/4 lol i have a new exhaust project in the works, and once that is in and i finish tuning im gonna get some new #'s but this DOHC really flys once rolling. my goal for the car was to get to or bellow a 15 1/4 mile. and i think im well on my way. i'll just have to wait and see toward the fall when i willhit the track again.

Well the Saturn VUE Redline is actually a SUV that only comes in automatic form. It makes 250hp, 250 torque. Since its an SUV I figure it weighs alot more than my monte. I also figured the 2 passengers total were about 170lbs, so really only one person.
