Not a Mustang, I know...but I liked how this photo turned out of my parents Redline Edition Saturn Sky.

When the turbo kicks in (mind you it's TINY) it's got quite a bit. I think it's only like 4lbs but it's enough with how light that car is. Haven't done any 0-60 runs because, like I said, it's my parents car. But the one time I've driven the car I was pretty impressed.

I have a stock 04 GT with cai and from a light we both rolled at 20 and then took off. I pulled away about 3 cars at like 70mph. Its not bad, low torque for the 260hp it has though.

It's not a racing car by any means, this is more of a mountain driver. It's light weight and turns great not to mention it's interior is really comfortable...it's an experience to drive/ride-in. Although I'd expect it to do better since I assume it's power to weight ratio would be quite fantastic over the mustang. Were you against a base model or Redline? I've heard that the base model Sky's are pretty lame.

And on a side note -
Street racing = Dumbass and -1000 cool points.

Not yet, I couldn't do it yesterday since I had work and needed to get my bumper back on and the belt was off on one of the pulleys so that was fun trying to get it back on. They tuner hasn't emailed me back yet for a date, but it should be sometime this week or Saturday at the latest.

Awesome! Definitely post the numbers when you get them. Which SC did you go with?

Looks like I'm going to the dyno on Friday. It's a Vortech V1 S-trim. Was a little worried when i first started it up cause I didn't have the whistling I was expecting, but once it got warmed up it got nice and loud.
