Oct 11, 2008 - when you stop at the traffic light and there is not much room to run at the street. it is true that saab has better acceleration at 1 and 2 gear than the porsche 911.

Oct 11, 2008 - Question:What is pikes peak? Please answer

bgzooo Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - Pikes Peak is in Colorado and the hillclimb is an annual event. I think Nobihiro Tajima holds the record but you need to search Ari Vatanen in the Peugeot from the eighties- is actually sold as a short film - you will see why

gromnik Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - Tajima holds the record for the Unlimited class. Per Eklund, driving this car, holds the Open-class record.

bgzooo Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - cool! thanks for that

Oct 11, 2008 - saab 9000 cse the best cars ever made, I have one I`ll never change it on over car

erikpaschon Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - According to SaaB that engine puts out 720 hp on the four wheels from just 2L :)

Oct 11, 2008 - Does anybody know if the turbo-charged cars change the ecu mapping as they get higher to counter-act the thinner air?

Oilev Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - Hi mate no the ECU doesn't - in fact the engine loses about 80-110 hp on the top .

samfisha Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - Wasn't sure about any of the complications concerning Timing, mixture, and boost level. I have to admit that before this week I'd never really paid any attention to "The race to the clouds". (Other than Gran Turismo 2) As Globally Important Motor racing events go, it is (or should be) right up there with Le Mans, Macau, Daytona, The Indy 500, Monaco. I'm thoroughly blown away by some of the risks taken by the drivers going up this mountain.They have Balls the size of basketballs. ;)

Oct 11, 2008 - It's more like 800!

cherrybomb1493 Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - good question... i for one would love to drive up pikes peak sometime, would be a great driving experience, right up there with the nurburbring and the tail of the dragon. although i am 14, so i guess for now i need to suffice with driving sims :)i'd assume they just set the ECU pretty rich so it doesn't start detonating at the top

Erunas Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - The sound from this car is just...

mini119c Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - I think turbo engine will have boost controller, which mean that with thin air, turbo will spool more to maintain the boost. O2 sensor will rich the mixture to prevent the engine from running lean. Thus, power from turbo engine will not suffer that much when compared to NA engine.

Oct 11, 2008 - Lamborghini is the best car not saab -.-

hejsansvejsan92 Says:

ILOVEMYWIFESARA Says:

NFSprostreet1 Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - omg i fucking love the engine sound ;)

shawnpepin Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - Why are people comparing Lamborghinis to Saabs?Show me a Lamborghini that can go up Pikes Peak. Show me a Saab that can hit 210mph on the highway.

AWhol01 Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - thats a damn fast saab and it sounds amazing. reminds me of a moto cross bike

wiSpeel Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - Stock 95 aeros hit 150mph lol. Then you can bring them up to stg 6 and easily break 200mph. Sill goose!
