But the two pics show two different cars

[SPEEDKILLAR]

Yep, two different cars, maybe different tuning program

[hwe]

..or maybe only different "evolutions" of the same car....

:arrow: Just check the plates on this picture and compare to the one without the wing in the top post;


Happy now ?

A Saab 9-3 is FWD, right?
Those are very impressive acceleration numbers for a FWD car: how do they control 550bhp ?? on the front wheels.
Are the “Pirelli Corsa (DOT slicks) 235/40 ZR-18� tires road legal?

Btw, I have the same 5 spoke wheels (Radius R6, bottom picture, first post).

[Tomerville]

Wow, those things must have massive torque-steer. Saabs and Acura's would be two of the sickest cars if they were RWD.

[hwe]

McP; yes, so far all Saab's are FWD. Difficult to get grip for that much power. I've tried for instance the Saab 9-3 Viggen with 230++ bhp standard, very easy to get wheelspin. And torque-steer; you definately have to keep hands firmly on the wheel when accelerating hard.
Can't imagine how it is with the power in those Nordic cars.

nice! never know saab can do that much carnage
fast cars!
