Saab 93ss vs Mustang Saleen
Just having some fun at the track. Not my best run. But I kept up with it until the end :) (Bandimere Speedway 5800' above sea level)
Turbo X, the testdrive of the new SAAB
Some vids from the SAAB XWD event in Åre, SWEDEN.
Read the complete review I wrote on Swade,s site.
http://www.trollhattansaab.net/archives/2008/03/turbo-x-vs-9-3-aero-xwd-the-drive.html
~ 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
Saab 9-3 Stage 1 BSR vs. Untuned
A movie I made before and after the tuning.
Sprints from 50-150.
You can see the difference in power is huge.
Mazda 6 MPS vs Saab 9-3 AT FWD drag
6MPS - буст контроллер, полный впуск/выпуск/эво-турба. В данном заезде наддув специально понижен до 0,8 бара (около 270лс), в салоне 3 человека. Сааб - едущий 9-3 на чип/выхлопе Hirsh. Сил 250 по ощущениям.
