No he isn't actually.  :o

I know of this car and it is said to be monstrously fast.

I would say power is probably nearer 350-370bhp and around 500nm of torque.

He has been trying to sell it for a feww weks now.

Serious piece of kit but overpriced.

Surely you wouldn't be able to put all that power down through 215/45/17's? I'd have thought it would rip them to shreds :o

The Quaiffe lsd helps, but it will have limited boost in 1st and 2nd.

Oh and yes, it will eat front tyres!

Saab make cracking solid well built cars, planes & trucks ( i drive & sleep in a scania ) but i personally would prefer all that power through the rear wheels.
      Just my opinion, sure it will be a fine car somone. 8-)
