She's home and she's pretty!

I guess Des decided we're naming it Sassafrass, Sassy works for me haha

Congrats

I miss Saturn

Nice! Glad you picked it up!

I like that cluster better than ours a bit

Sweet! I love the Auras, looks like you nabbed a top trim one, too. You've got close to 300HP on tap, so don't have too much fun.

Roll down your two front windows a bit and feel the top of the glass. Youll find that its a double pane window to keep road noise down. (so is the windshield)

Yeah I looked it up, 252 HP is what it looks like. 0-60 in 6.4 seconds, it's crazy. Running the TAPshift I can chirp the tires into second gear UNBELIEVABLE. All the buddies can't stop laughing when I put it to the floor. Des is happy with it, well, she'll be driving it mostly. We'll take care of it

I'm thinking of the newer ones...you do have an LY7 powered model. The newer 09-10 Malibus and Auras with the redesigned 3.6L (forget that RPO) were pushing 280HP.

280? wtf y didnt the gxp do that its actually sporty

280? wtf y didnt the gxp do that its actually sporty

because the motor was built and put into production in 09-10 when Pontiac was awaiting it's death

the Saturns never had more than the 252hp eather.

See post above and add Saturn to it

motor swap lol

Yeah... I hear these motors ran a problem having too small a timing chain installed, so apparently the timing chain snaps? Like, it's apparently too narrow. Any truth to this?

they are not a timing chain engine, they use a timing belt.
