Pretty nice lookin Saab you had there man. Isn't it funny how over the years we own a car we even come to love their imperfections or downfalls, and even after we may move on and sell the car for something possibly better we still miss them.

And brake pads will help but you could go with the Viggen or Aero 308 MM brake set up, it will stop on a dime... Quote:

That's what Saab guys like, definitely undercover cars. I love the look of the BMW 335i or Audi S type driver when he sees a saab pull on him... priceless... You can see what kinda stuff is available in the US ( easily obtainable) from geniunesaab.com or in europe at Maptun.com Partsforsaabs.com or abbottracing.com It woudl be nice to have a few more peope in the area join the Saab family! |

Been travelling quite a bit and haven't known my schedule for more than a few days in advance lately.
I am dying to feel it, its time to do more to my ride ( but I had melted the Cat with that rich ECU now I gotta get another and the race cats won't fit under the subframe brace...) You gotta feel mine with the new ECU ( but I need the cat- I have to get it on the dyno but I think its definitley close to 300 WHP now |

Thanks for the comments guys! She had an open diff and the gearbox had to be rebuilt TWICE! The brakes had been upgraded with better pads and much larger rotors...but they still sucked. She could really have used much larger calipers. I had completely rebuilt the suspension with all urethane bushings, shocks, springs and uprated sway bars. She certainly was a beast...but nothing compared to the beast that I am building now

^^^ man you are with the cars I have always dreamed about! the porsche is nice but lets see the Lotus. I lust after British cars. My first car was a wild MG Midget ( Still have a mint 75 BRG TR6) I also owned a Jag XJS and XK8, a few Spitfires and an MGB. Nice collection

Its not a cocept anymore. The dealer is wating fo rthem to show. Its an 08 model but prolly won't be in the dealers till Feb. Its got a new AWD system that is supposed to be pretty slick and keeps the power pretty evenly distributed...

I"m not sure how many you're expecting, but there's a fair group of us in the South Eastern PA area.

If GM could have adapted more off the Saabs to the Cobalts, they would have been a whole hell of a lot faster. Still alot of potential there, but nothing like the original Saab platform.
