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!

Sweet! I'll start pumping iron but I will make one arm stronger to compensate

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

Beautiful car mike, congrats! BTW what type of camera do you use, your pics are always so sharp.

Re: Pics of my newly acquired Saab...
I don't think you need to do that. I'm sure that right arm is stronger already. Don't do a Bill when you get behind the wheel!

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. Ebay Link

Re: Pics of my newly acquired Saab...
Cool car, Mike.
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!

Re: Pics of my newly acquired Saab...
It's true. There really is almost no turbo lag! The Trionic7 engine management in these really is a work of art.
