A 700HP Saturn Sky is Hilariously Dumb

  • The Saturn Sky is not usually what comes to mind when thinking of an American sports car icon. It was also the Opel GT and Pontiac Solstice - so the chassis was well known around the globe. However with it's ecotec engine not a lot of people pushed the car to it's full potential...so crazy people swapped them to things such as..the 2JZ? Paul the owner of this Saturn has spent years of his life turning this Saturn Sky into an absolute rocket ship. So let's see if the hard work paid off.

    I bought my sky redline back in 2006 and took delivery in April of that year. It was actually the first in the blue stone color, it wasn't originally available but they put a note on the order that should it come available to paint it that color. I still remember getting the phone call from the Delaware factory saying, "Hey, we decided to do that Blue Stone color, do you still want it? It will actually be the first."
    Fast forward 190k miles and 12 years and I decided to LS swap it. Built a supercharged LS3 motor and swapped to a TR6060 trans, which turned this thing into a beast ... but I can't drive it on the street right now because I got scammed by Norm's Fiberglass. That hardtop you have on the vehicle was made by Norm, who I paid in full back in 2018 for the full body kit. He never delivered, so my sky has been sitting without a trunk and roof since then. :(
