'stall speed' is simply when the engine RPM gets as high as the torque converter will let it. Remember, when the engine is spinning it's churning fluid in the torque converter.

note that Saturn automatics don't use planetary gears, they have a manual-transmission like setup with clutch packs instead of sliders and synchros. Blew my mind the first time I saw the insides of one - I kept thinking "How come nobody else does this?"

that's pretty cool too bad Saturn's mechanicals are getting binned in favour of standard-issue GM guts going into their Saturn platforms from now on...

Nope. You test stall speed by stepping HARD on the brakes and flooring the throttle to check what maximum RPM the torque converter lets the engine reach before fluid drag gets too great.
