rocketdog15 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 I run in the Super Stocks, but last Saturday after my race was over, I went into the stands to watch the rest of the program, and the big question that I keep hearing is why does everybody in the Sport Compact class run Saturn's. I myself can only guess because I know next to nothing about them. Maybe the engine turns more RPMs than the other makes. Maybe there is more camber adjustment, or the transmission ratios are the best for this size track. It could be the weight or balance of the car. These are the guesses that come to mind, but just guesses. It leaves me curious also. Any body willing to answer? If not I understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRfan Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Weight. They are the lightest car that fits the rules. Most of the body is plastic. So even though a lot of them have a 1.9 liter motor they can keep up with the others with bigger motors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geetar Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I know this post is kind of old, but I really don't feel like Saturns have that huge of an advantage. I did when I bought mine, but now not so much. The top 5 in the last race had one saturn sc, one ford escort, two chevy cavaliers, and a hyundai tiburon. There were 3 saturns in the top 10, but 1/3 of the field is made up of saturns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
