Pics of my newly acquired Saab...
 
Those that have been following my "bought a car in Denver" thread know that I picked up a car to replace my Audi. I decided that at my age, with no kids, I really shouldn't have such a practical car.

Anyway. I ended up with a 2001 Saab 9-3 Viggen Convertible. I love the car, but the torque steer makes it a real hand full!

Mike,
I think you need to go with that Raw Dawg Fury reverse stagger look!:rolleyes:
I'm thinking some 275s on the front and 245s on the back will put that torque steer to rest.:lol::lol:

I don't think you need to do that. I'm sure that right arm is stronger already.:lol: Don't do a Bill when you get behind the wheel!;)

Chris-

I usually use a Canon Digital Rebel, but its battery was dead yesterday, so i used my backup camera which is a 5 year old crappy Sony DSC-P100. They can be had on ebay for under $50.

Cool car, Mike. :cool:

This thing really has no turbo lag due to its 32bit ecu ?

Awesome looking car Mike. Let me know if you are going to do any land speed record attempts up this way so I can look the other way! :D

It's true. There really is almost no turbo lag! The Trionic7 engine management in these really is a work of art.
