My first and last car was a 1996 Saab 900se turbo 'vert with 36,000 miles on it at the time I sold it... It was heavily modified with every single bolt on available for the chassis, Koni shocks, 50# injectors, GT28 turbo, big FMIC, custom tune, full 3" turbo back stainless steel exhaust, Borbet type FS rims, EBC redstuff pads, and on and on. I loved that car, it put down 285whp/290ftlbs which equates to roughly 350chp because of the drivetrain loss due to the automatic transmission.

I slaved over it to bring it as close to perfection as I could, but fundamentally the car was only good in a straight line and I did not enjoy the feeling that every WOT pull could be the last for the transmission.
