Volvo körde över SAAB
Drama på Giraffens parkering kunde ha slutat riktigt illa.
WEBB-TV/FILMKLIPP
* Se film från platsen
Peter Månsson satt i sin SAAB 9-5 efter att ha handlat vid Giraffen. En Volvo 240 mittemot började uppföra sig konstigt åkte fram och sedan tvärstannade innan den fick ordentlig med fart och rammade Peters bil och kunde även knyckla till en Volvo S60 vid sidan om.
Det var helt overkligt, nästan som i en film. Helt plötsligt hade jag en bil över mig, säger han.
Bärgare var snabbt på plats för att se hur man kunde få bort Volvon. Peter Månssons SAAB verkade ha klarat sig rätt bra. Men han har dragit en lärdom.
Det kan bli dyrt att köpa billig öl på Lidl. Men jag får väl hoppas att försäkringen täcker det mesta, säger han.
~ 700hp Turbo Saab, 312kmh (194mph)
Extreme turbo Saab + 300 kmh
Many viewers have misunderstood this video, so I explain it a little:
-Speed at finish line (1mile/1609m) is measured. Time is not measured.
-First Saab does 1st and 2nd gear with ~half throttle. Second Saab has limited Boost for 1st and 2nd gear.
- three extra seconds between 0-100kmh typically means ~30meters wasted. But three extra seconds used in speeds close to 300kmh, means almost 300meters wasted.
Here is equally powerful RWD cars (if not even more HP's) These RWD's are a lot faster between 0-150kmh, but these Saabs are faster from 150kmh-300kmh. You get the point when you compare speeds at finish line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urWWdomnncw
-A Saab 9-5 driver pushes a little too much throttle @3rd gear and looses traction. He lifts a throttle and pushes it back, but too much again and then he gears up 4th, a bit earlier than planned. (optimal is@205kmh).
Earlier that summer I broke one gearbox when pushing too hard on 3rd gear.
With new gearbox and at later event, I drove very gently on first three gears to avoid breaking it again. I pushed WOT for the first time on 4th gear @ 190kmh. You can hear it clearly on following video. Engine tone changes totally around 200kmh. Incar video is from 299kmh pull (at 1 mile race) Something happened to camera during the run. So I didn't get any incar video from a 305kmh pull. To see that run from the start line, please see my other videos.
Here is incar video until camera dies. Start is @1min. http://youtu.be/M4NNX4Ygnwc
