Saabs will always have a special place in my view.... probably because I owned a 9000 turbo. Great driving cars, even if they are FWD
I just wish they had more "go footage" of this car... Thanks pagani.

I think this is one of few fwd cars in the world that can handle pretty big power.

I used to have a video with a 500+ hp Saab 9-3 or 9-5, along with a s/c M3 CSL, and others... but i think that died on a hard drive that died years ago already
basically, i agree even if it will understeer like a pig

I won't understeer of you improve the suspension.
It's all about suspension setup.

more tow out, surely will lead to oversteer and instability issues, sure... but a slower lap time as well... the issue is maintaining mid corner velocity "balancing out" then powering out of the turn while still turning, the forces are too much for the front tires to do w/out loosing grip in either the longetudinal, or lateral g forces being applied... that is where the understeer comes from

there are plenty of FWD racing cars that handle fantastic... but I can't think of any that even try to put down 500 hp...

Its all relative.. The fwd car will never handle as well as the similarly equiped rwd car..
My parents had one of these when I was but a wee lad.. I have many a good memory of that 900 turbo.
