Wassup fellas, Love the new site and layout.....

My little tupperware mobile, always under construction...Supercharged Saturn Ion Redline, makes for enjoyable point a-to-b trips. A few snaps I took for the first time w/the new camera, more to come as I learn a little bit about what the hell I'm doing and what all these settings mean(Nikon D3000) while getting a little more seat time w/it.

Plans; to get a wider spacer out back w/the a little more camber...adjustable camber bolts up front, b/c I throw drag radials on when I hit the track still....going for a mid 12sec pass this season so I'm kinda hindered w/my suspension adjustments because my "Form" goes against that "Function" but fug it, I like looking good, that's why Im here!! :lol:

Welcome! I've seen your car around on a few other boards. Definitely a unique car to the scene. I currently have my '07 Cobalt SS for sale. For a brief moment I had thought about slamming/flushing it out, but I decided against it. Definitely like what you've done so far though. Sawblades always look good on slammed cars, and I like the fact that they're actually on a GM car for once :lol:

:lol: exactly...I was like, "damn, if everyone else can rock the blades how bout one actually outta GM performance division give em a shot??"

Thanks on the compliment, yea I hear ya...I can definitely see why you would vote against doing the ss/sc, these platforms are a pain in the ass when it comes to decent stance and wheel fitment as a whole, thank GM for using a SAAB platform on that one :roll:

...but still if you don't end up selling your ss/sc, I say give her a go in some nice stance, the scene could use something different, you could be that inspiration to those lost souls haha.

I had considered the thought, but honestly, i'm just bored with the car. I've had it since the fall of '06, and I feel i've spent enough time in money in it. I really want a '10 RX-8, and I refuse to settle for anything less. The Cobalt has been my only domestic to date (i've also had an '88 RX-7, '03 Accord and a '97 M3 in my days), and I learned the hard way how hard to is to make it "different" with such a lacking aftermarket, especially when it comes to wheel selection. I mean don't get me wrong, its been a great car, but i'm just ready to trade up for something different.
