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."Go on, feel the wind in your hair. With a 177-horsepower engine with 166 ft. lbs. of torque, you’re guaranteed a fun and exhilarating driving experience."
GM was just kidding right...please tell me there kidding
That's pretty impressive. I'd like to have that ratio in my 'burb....lol:biggrin::biggrin:an '06 VFR Interceptor has a 4.3:1 ratio.:biggrin:
A 454 Suburban...horsepower to weight ratio...are you kidding me its all about driving over the next object and laughing sadistically...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)
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.:tongue:A 454 Suburban...horsepower to weight ratio...are you kidding me its all about driving over the next object and laughing sadistically...![]()
Don’t laugh.I'm the same as Steve I feel like a dog humping a football getting into a Sundird nevermind one of those things...
Now are talking English mastiff, or Dachshund?:tongue:I'm the same as Steve I feel like a dog humping a football getting into a Sundird nevermind one of those things...
Just to give my previous statement some credibility.Now are talking English mastiff, or Dachshund?:tongue:
Define comfortably. My '97 Trans Am WS6 was driveable but I wouldn't even go as far as comfortable, especially on a long trip. Also are you saying that you would rather have a Fiero over a Vette?Don’t laugh.
Steve, yes you will fit, hell you will fit in my Fiero comfortably.
We have guys, and gals on my fiero forum that are 6’4” that drive them..
Also my 86 Fiero SE V6 Has about 150 HP weights about the same.
Does 0 to 60 in about 7.5 seconds. Granted that’s not light speed or as good as a Vet. But if the Saturn is built similar to the Fiero in has a super structure. The reason it weights so much for such a small car.
The fiero will out maneuver most sports cars. Because of it wide track stance. It will beat a Corvette, or Ferrari on a g force skid pad, and beat them both in the slalom course.
I’ve had both, right now we have the 86 SE V6.Define comfortably. My '97 Trans Am WS6 was driveable but I wouldn't even go as far as comfortable, especially on a long trip. Also are you saying that you would rather have a Fiero over a Vette?![]()
