Default saabs

As you may know my a4 has been up for sale for some time for about 7500. I'm trying to sell it to get something more moddable like a 1.8t, but does anyone know anything about the saab 95 or any other saab and how moddable they are?

Default RE: saabs

I personally am not a fan of saabs, we have 3 of them in the family, i drove a 2000 9-5 arc for a year before my s4. Newer saabs have a pretty comfortable interior, some have quick motors, but unfortunatly it is still a front wheel drive car. Saab was a sweedish company, but now its owned by GM. Gm continues to advertise "Born from jets" because the SWEEDISH company had a base in aerospace, but um GM dosnt make jets. Its not intended to be a performance car by any means. My dads 2004 9-5 2.3t is pretty quick to about 100mph, and it handles alot better than my 2000 3.0t 9-5, but my sisters 1.8t jetta was alot sportier haha. I thought about doing some performance mods to my saab but i couldnt really find any, theres MUCH more out there for the 1.8t.

I don't know if they have parts for it available but I saw one that passed by me on the freeway.

At that time, I could only spot his oversized intercooler and the sound of his BOV or whatever he uses.

Some Saab's are really nice looking, but I too hate that they're owned by GM. What's worse, though IMO, is that Ford owns Volvo. [:@]

Not much longer ford is trying to sell all it's European assets.


and on the Saab note, I know that they can make big power if you got the money (ET or European Car had one that I wanna say made close to 900HP) but as for budget tuning I'm sure that is available too.

They got rid of Aston Martin, didn't they?? I thought they still had Jaguar, but I'm not sure about Land Rover, either.
