    Hi Steve

    Just a simple question to start with, eh?

    Cars that can run consistant low 12s are quick cars.

    Do you know what it it would run as standard? My database has a Saab 9-5 Areo 2003. 2290cc turbocharged manual 250bhp 258lb/ft weight 3510lbs, running 15.06mph/92mph. Is this your car. If not, I will need all the differences: weight, bhp/torque, tyre sizes, etc. Steve

    Hi old Git, I here you are the guy to talk to when running the best 1/4 mile times. Im a new saab owner of a 04 aero convert. Love the car , Looking to run low 12's . I figure i need to get about another 150 hp. totalling 360 from 210. Im thinking i have to rebuild original turbo or replace with larger one. Add cold air intake,lsd , then reprogram computer to fit new mods. Would this be enough? thanks Steve
