xStric9x Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Just had a blast with a 9-3 sportwagon saab 2.8 v6. holly smokes there quick, did manage to pull away though but still never the less very quick Quote
Adam@Z1auto.com Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 yes they are quite quick - Saab advertises it goes 40-70mph faster than a 911 twin turbo I just got one as my new daily driver a few weeks ago - absolutely loving it, better even than my previous A4 Avant Quote
xStric9x Posted October 22, 2007 Author Posted October 22, 2007 Hats off to saab cause that motor defo moves pretty quick and i don't care what anybody says, i kinda liked the look of it too Quote
Adam@Z1auto.com Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I love the looks which is originally what drew me to it. I knew absolutely nothing about the car, only that everytime I drove by the dealership it caught my eye. It's quite aggressive yet very clean lines. The sedan to me is downright sexy, though I needed the wagon for hauling purposes Quote
Zedrush Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Saabs can be underestimated as Limiter will tell you, he had a sleeper and boy did it shift, upset many evo's subarus and porkas alike He spent a fortune on it with Abbot Racing heres the mods: Koni suspension adjustable Stiffer springs Abbott racing Sub frame brace Abbott racing Steering rack brace Poly bushes all round Anti roll bar Quaife lsd AP racing brake 4pot 330 mm discs Mintex pads 4144 Viggen clutch Abbott racing up-rated rear axle Team dynamic pro 2 black alloys 17†Quote
H5 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Nice cars, just a shame they haven't redesigned the things in the last 30 years! Quote
Dan Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I'm running a 9-3 Convertible at the moment and I do like these, this is my second one this year but I'm a sucker for rag tops. The car averages 37mpg and cruises at 90mph very relaxed and comfortable. I hate diesel with a passion so it's ideal for me knocking round the auctions and clocking up the miles. However it's only the 1.8 Turbo so isn't exactly a fireball...the 2.8 Turbo are 250bhp standard and I quite fancy one of those very soon. Dynamically they are nothing special - it's a Vectra underneath, but for day to day mile munching with good fuel consumption and the opportunity to drop the roof they are a good tool. Quote
