Don't think anyone has heard it from the outside so....

(1.5mb so its even dial up freindly)



About 5.9 seconds in is 60mph, just at the 2nd gear change - thats on medium boost with a soft start.



Been through a few cars recently and still none of them give me the buzz that old boat does ;-).

And I can't believe you are actually selling something that has so much of your soul in it.

You remember :)

I still have it on one of our drives...

Could have got someone better looking to drive it. ;)

nice, 5.9 is good for a FWD car! but my MR2 turbo i'm importing does that standard :) so might need a few mods to shave a few 0.1 secs off that :)

what boost is it runnig at? and i've not been about, you selling the old saab then?

standard :) so might need

1.4bar in that vid out a 1.8bar maximum. The book might say an MR2 tubby does it 5.9 but you try doing it consistantly, remember that 5.9 in the vid is with a nice soft start as well ;-)

Not to do down the MR2 Turbo's as their a good bit of kit, can make them pretty nippy for not a lot of loot too! Nice and rare as well.

Saabs for sale to fund the Mid-Engine RWD 900. £5000 if anyone fancies it.
