saturn:<BR> 2363lbs<BR> 124hp<BR> 122ft-lbs<P>mx-3:<BR> 2443lbs<BR> 130hp<BR> 115ft-lbs<P>the saturn will take you off the line because of the higher torque and lighter weight. it should be a good run though. it also depends on if either one is auto and how good the drivers are.

There is no way that saturn weighs 2300#. Where did you get that info?

my friend has that exact saturn with a 5sp and exhaust + intake, that little bastard is pretty quick, they have really low gears, but if ur a good driver and you speed shift, you should get him at high first gear more n likely

from carpoint.com<P>2318 lbs curbweight for the sc2<BR>and yep 124 and 122 for hp and ft-lbs<P>I guess it would be the dent resistant doors, i never really imagined it would weigh so little...

I am not all that fond of Saturns, but they have more performance parts available than the MX-3, so that might be something to consider. Check out <A HREF="http://www.spswebpage.com/products/products.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.spswebpage.com/products/products.html</A>

I know the LS2 dose its quarter in 15.8@88.3, has 182hp V6 engine and is supose to be the fastest saturn made. I think my money would be on the MX-3 GS, stock Vs stock.

Well I was talking about the SC2 not the LS2 when i said stock Vs. stock. With a differance of 60+ HP between the two i'm sure the SC2 would also be at least a second slower, meaning the best bet would be on the MX-3GS.
