I'm considering it LOL! I test drove the cobalt SS/SC. I really didnt expect the drive to be as good and satisfying. It was fun, a fun car to drive. Went to a saturn dealer and they didnt have any RL's but the salesman said he'll call me soon as they get in.

you're right...why buy a Saturn with cheap GM parts when you can buy a Chevy with the exact same cheap GM parts.

Saturn sucks...

Get whatever you can get the best deal on...there really is no difference in build quality and performance.

The reason you can't price it w/ g28 is because it's g85

Upgrades will be for the LSJ motor, which is the same in both cars, so the IRL will work with stage 1 & 2. Enjoy the ride when you get it, congrats, and welcome to the powerful world of the LSJ.

Nice! Congrats, man. Can't help on the boost lights, must be Ion-specific.
