SAAB

[Chris56]

Now that there are a few Saab fans on this forum, I thought I would set the ball rolling with a picture of my 9-5 Aero. Car is totally standard but may be temped with a remap in the future.

Dyna - have you got a picture of the Viggen? definately a modern classic!

Do you know i cant find many pictures of any of my cars, let alone all the Saabs ive owned or own....

Im sure ive got some somewhere of the Viggen though, taken when it was looking nice and shiney this summer - ill see if i can find them.

In the meantime here's one of my early flat-nose C900 Turbo's... had 3 of these, sold this pictured one not long ago, scrapped another for parts but Ive kept the best one, which is one of the earliest flat-nose surviors... best 80's tradition, burghandy leather interior & dash, the works

Great car, i prefer the C900 Turbo's over the more modern 9-3 Viggen tbh.

Looks like somebody has taken a 9-5 body and dropped it from a height onto a Le Man car - and how the hell does he put petrol in it?

Custom internal alloy race tank, external fuel filler cap is now redundant...

There was a thread on this car on UKSaabs at some point.... ive got a youtube link below, lots of power although it sounds like a bloody tractor tbh

One of my friends had a Abbott Racing 9000 Saab and talk about quick for 1993 vehicle. It had as much power as a Escort RS Cosworth, but only front wheel drive.

I brought my first Saab this year I must admit I am very impressed . Its Saab Aero HOT estate. Wow its quick . Ive fallen in love with it because built quality and it's spec. I stopped using it because it does 16mpg - 28mpg when i drove it very sensibly I got 30-35mpg .

I'm thinking of buying 3.0 V6 TD . hopefully it should be less thirsty .

Powerful engine that but be careful - if it is the Isuzu engine they are very prone to faults (hence why they are so rare.

If you can stretch to a 1.9 TTID (180 Bhp) they are much more reliable, plus better n the tax/insurance. Otherwise I would stick with the Aero and take the hit on the fuel -the repair bills will be much more expensive.

Plus the 3.0 V6 isnt as fuel efficient as you might think... late 30's if your lucky in everyday driving - not that much more than a petrol if your reasonably careful with the right foot.

If the petrols going well and is in good nick, keep it
