Found this video of some older Saab's doing formation tricks with the cars. The music in the video sucks but the rest of it is in incredible.

Yeah and they don't even wear helmets or anything while doing all of this, one false move and it would not be pretty.

i think ive seen it before... is it the symphony one? its pretty amazing what they do, but yes... the music does blow!
Guys... I would hope y'all are sophisticated enough to understand the significance of the "classical" music when scoring a ballet.. ;)
It just doesn't work with NiN.. :P :lol:

Oy...music sucks? It's overplayed, that's all that can be said of it, but it's certainly of higher quality than most of the drech out there these days.

yes, ive had that video for a while too
definately the case for Saab 9000 turbos, that video shows the reasons i miss mine so much :-\
i dont think the 'guest' appearnce by the 900 made any sence, but thats just me i think...
those cars were so amazingly balanced, good steering fairly close to neutral, but at the limit became understeer under power, and oversteer lift off, and good power delivery above 2500 revs right up to redline! god i miss that 5 speed...
Haven't downloaded it, but I guess it is the same video as posted here (?); http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?t=4552

There is a similar video from Saab featuring the Saab 900. So it makes sense since it's the "future." Have to say, the 900 one is no where as good as the old 9000 stunts.
disregard the music, just concertrate on the show, it is so amazing that they can pull this off, they have a bunch of guts driver and accurate driving. It worth some hands

It just goes to show that Saab do make tidy handling cars, and all the continual argument about RWD vs FWD is frankly rather silly and unneccessary - they deliver very capable and different driving experiences depending almost entirely on the conditions!

I had that video for a while, but I remember the drivers of Saab 9000 have a lots of skills.

music is excellent, most appropriate for the video, have seen this one a long time ago, always liked 9000, driving is quite impressive, overall its a real good show
