    Saturn is basically an Opel Astra build in GM Antwerp Belgium
    It’s specially made for the American market.

    It's not a lot of power, but it wouldn't matter if the power to weight ratio is good. Looks like a very light weight car.

    I don't know what that Saturn weighs, but assuming it's about the same as an Audi TT, or BMW Roadster then it's in the neighborhood of 2500lbs, which would put it about 14.1:1.
    The 2000 Audi TT has a weight to hp ratio of 11.8:1
    The 2000 BMW Roadster is 12.1:1

    Comparitively the '93 Suburban is 22.8:1 (2wd) or 24.3:1 (4x4)

    Cool

    I'm not trying to change the subject, and I would probably choose my Yukon over my bike but since we're talking numbers... an '06 VFR Interceptor has a 4.3:1 ratio.

    A 454 Suburban...horsepower to weight ratio...are you kidding me its all about driving over the next object and laughing sadistically...

    Well yes, that is very true. But it's not much good if you have to chase the little vehicle down to run it over.
