[QUOTE=HashiriyaGDB]Saabs are cool cars, too proprietary though, can't really do much to 'em. I love the 9-3 Aeros, the new ones. I love the new 9-2 also, but primarily because it's basically a WRX, which makes it cool (cept that damn 5-speed crapbox is still in there).
That transmission is like 20 years old, it needs to go away..
The saab cars have a long line of performance parts. They are not in every magazine you see but they are there. I was just looking at different tuning stages for my car. Stage 1- 45 hp stage 2- 50 hp stage 3- 90hp's. They have exhaust systems from the turbo all the way to the rear. Have a lot of intake kits with even new piping for the turbo, They have aftermarket intercoolers, big brake kits, you name it. The only thing i havent seen are body kits, which i really dont mind. But to know that if i wanted to i could have a 300 plus horsepower saab is always good.
You are definatly right about the 5 speed its not that good, i love ripping into gears with the 240. Thats something i gave up for comfort though. The interior is so quiet you wouldnt believe it. All in all i think i made a good decision. I know ill be back for a nissan, im still in love with the 300zx twin turbo. I would also like to buy a 240sx but with the sr in there already. I have a few pics of the saab. That particular saab is not mine but it is exactly like mine.
