I don't think it's been noted...but what needs to be taken into consideration is that it has a Cadillac CTS-V rear differential which if you all check Getrag is rated at around 300 lb/ft torque. Keep in the mind the V has 400hp and 400 lb/ft
This one of the reasons why myself and so many other V-owners had so many problems with the differentials blowing up and also destroying the transmission.

Just FYI for anyone considering this for a purchase...

Check the NHTSA site and see all the consumer complaints about this issue with the diff.

What are you talking about? the 14b and the T-25 are step downs from the oem 16G. Why would a Evoi make "massive torque" out of a 14B which is rated at 360cfm or a T25 which is rated at only 260cfm?

I don't understand your comments.

At least I think that's what he meant.

Ok, I can buy that but overall torque numbers should be credited to the oem 16G rather than the 14B or T-25 comparisson.

The Saturn Sky Redline will be nice. If I'm in the market for a 25,000 to 30,000 dollar rear wheel drive roadster, this be will it. This car will destroy the Honda S2000. Yeah, Miatas look the gayness.

Yes, Miatas are nice cars in terms of handling, but they do look feminine.

I ordered a SKY Redline on Feb. 8th for the wife. They told me 8 to 12 weeks which should put it in around the beginning of May. It looks like a fun little car. I'm really happy that she wants a turbo 5 speed. I figure she can drive my a$$ around in that and if anyone wants to race. We just come home and get the EVO
