Very fast saab 9000

[ruiferreira89]

The boost just went off scale.

How's the chassis stiffness on the 9000? I find the Alfa Romeo 164 just stiff enough but I've heard the Lancia Thema is quite flexible.

[fujiuser1968]

Love the way the APC guage goes off the dial,mine will only go half way into the red with the mod i have done on my 87 2.0l :-)

[Sirobin44]

how fast would a 9000 v6 saab be?

[TJwaffle911]

@Sirobin44 Not as fast. The V6 Saabs were known for being unreliable, heavy and not having any real tuning headroom.

[ruiferreira89]

@Sirobin44 If you want a v6 get the Alfa Romeo 164 3.0l. :)

[DontBeSuchAHolyFool]

Lol torque steer, much?

[LaPavoniMac]

@DontBeSuchAHolyFool boost a c900 like that and you can take of with not problems at all not even touching the steering wheel. The engine is in backwards eliminating the torque steer. :D best handling car EVER!

@RandomerOfD00m

I know what u mean, Saab 9000s are the ultimate sleeper. I take down chevy camaros and mustangs with my 97 9000 Aero all the time. People (especially in rural American areas) have no clue even a stock 9000 holds. I get shocked ass expressions when I go flying by there Camaro at 135mph in a freaking 4-door

[Cheesecakeatron]

@hondafanatic17 I make Evo's Cry :D But My leisure hobby is picking fights with ricers XD

[hondafanatic17]

@RandomerOfD00m

[RandomerOfD00m]

my dad has a 9000 aer0 with 600bhp and all the local kids think its a pile of sh*t, apart from one kid who's dad has a r32 golf his dad pulled up at lights with my dad tryin to act hard i bet u can guess wat happend nxt, now his dad is trying to find one to buy one, verry rare.

[HELLBOUND1969]

the true saab 9000 befor vauxhull killed them off

thay should remake the 9000 for one year

[hadabenz]

SAAB SCANIA ROCKS ! SAAB GM BOOO ! Love all the 900s and 9000s !

[reijudrac]

kolla laddtrycket:)

[jakubkrcma]

Holy shit! 80-180 in 6 seconds!!! That's like 0-200 kph/124 mph in about 11 s!!!!!!!!!! Your car has to have 600+ hp AND low weight AND insane torque! Congratulations!

[KingOfTheClutch]

@jakubkrcma lolwut?

take your Ritalin there chief and take a deep breath.

[jakubkrcma]

@KingOfTheClutch So what is your estimate then? Do you realize this is in third gear only? Normally, the 2nd gear would end quite high into this 80-180 kph range, which would make 0 - 200 acceleration a breeze. It would probably be 10 seconds, not 11, actually. 600+ hp is about right for the estimate then, I think.

[KingOfTheClutch]

@jakubkrcma My estimate is 200Mg, twice a day.

you seriously need to chill out, it's a CAR,

[jakubkrcma]

@KingOfTheClutch And what? To some people, cars are just objects. To some people, animals are just objects... To me, animals are equal beings and cars are the absolute peak of fun, bar child making etc. Also, to some people, Ayrton Senna was just another driver/guy/human being. To me, he was half-God. Well, he IS. Maybe even more now than when he was still around, because his death taught me a lot about him. When you're a racer, you don't chill out about a wonderful car. You admire it instead...

[KingOfTheClutch]

@jakubkrcma while I cannot disagree with you about this car (I'm a huge fan of the 9000's) I have to admit as well that I'm only giving you a hard time.

you need to have fun in life man.

[thrashtildethxx]

gm has a bad habit of raping and pillaging car companies then laying them to waste.oh yeah your saab 9000 rules saab on dude!

[stohladam]

What mods did you do on the car?

[FDNY101202]

haha the boost gauge is the best.

[wlsktr]

used to have a 92 turbo untill my sister wrecked it and totalled it. Damn women drivers

[Crazybenjiwoo]

@wlsktr i put one into a wall at 30 ( well, took the turn at 40 chasin a wrx ) bounced off a wall not a bother to me, bumper was scuffed light and wiper needed to be changed, everything else was mint !

such a safe car

[jonnielahti]

love that turbopressure !

[Denzig49]

duktigt med tryck i den där :) vad är det för motor, och vilka står för tuningen, eller äre handplockat det där?

äre mindre utväxling i CS modellerna?

[thegraphic33]

är det en Aero elr vanlig turbo ?

[Colt45hatchback]

i made my mums faster than this, i put an aftermarket fuel pump in and changed the injectors to larger duty cycle ones, then swapped the hoses on the boost controller around, so it never opend the wastegate, was great for a bit of fun but it always blew all the hoses and stuff off the manifold, never broke the engine though :P

[akmjolnir]

Is this a manual transmission? 3rd gear pull with CS gear ratio?

[Sweden123]

3rd gear yes

[Kifzzer]

Haha my freind´s volvo 740 beats this =)

[sumerianelohim]

I just bought a 1997 saab 9000!!! I love it!! Sweedish engineering rocks!!!

[fishstickpower]

@sumerianelohim my favorite is the 91 model but there still amazing

[oljyhamina]

I think it is a 9000 jubileum or the turbo sport

[iwillgodownonU]

Saab 9000CD 3.0 V6 Griffin with automatic transmission. The ultimate Saab luxury car. The best Saab I've seen. Made considering buyers needs and demands.

[iwillgodownonU]

It's a Saab 9000 CD Griffin. Made by considering buyers wantings and needs. The Ultimate Saab luxury car. 3.0 V6 engine with automatic transmission. Best car I've seen.

[Matthiebak]

@iwillgodownonU

I definitely dislike the 3.0 v6 engine. It's motor is an Opel engine. And you don't buy a Saab for the luxury, but for the fact that it's a Saab, and a Saab needs a Saab engine. Btw, if you want a powerful 9000, you should drive the 2.3 turbo. That's even faster!

[VTS1337]

@Matthiebak It's GM actually (the ugly truth) But yes, you are right

[Copperdee]

@VTS1337

Actually, it's still original SAAB. GM didn't screw everything up until 1999 :) As 9000s go, '93-'98 was all SAAB :)

[DieKampfratte]

dann kennst du saab nicht

[PREDATORamdTM]

7000 RPM , This Will Damage Your Machine

[elpolako006]

where did you get the wood steering wheel i want one for my saab 9-3

[bentleyv8t]

@elpolako006 the cs anniversary has one.

[maxtheboss84]

min låssas pappas e snabbare :D q-_-p

[ansettnz100]

man, you got alot of wood grain trim!

[osvst]

weaight reduction :p lmao!

[parad0x666]

LOL @ Torque steer :P

[saab9000aero400hp]

He start in 3 gear! my 9000 aero in the past with ecu mod with 7100Rpm go up to 220km/h and left 2 speed after ... :-)

[h000lm]

När jag kollar lite ytterligare så kanske det inte var spolat. Tyckte att det såg ut som om att det var spolat, såg ut som det "hackade" sig fram som det gör när det är spolat. MEn ser att varvmätaren hänger med bra så det överensstämmer. MItt fel, sorry!

[h000lm]

Hahah synd att det bara är spolat!!

[Sweden123]

Varför skulle det vara spolat?

[NGT2O6]

vadå spolat? e du efterbliven?

[h000lm]

Oj nej men förlåt om jag råka säga något som var fel då, tyckte bara att det såg spolat ut, och förmodligen äre väl du som är efterbliven om någon, eftersom du inte ens säkert vet vad det är. NGT206

[roadwraith86]

@h000lm

Ser lite ut så men med tanker på turbomätaren så går den nog fan rätt bra ändå

[Hermansson93]

@h000lm det är fan inte spolat, go i huvudet eller?

[h000lm]

@Hermansson93 jag sa tidigare att jag tyckte det såg ut så och bad om ursäkt för att jag tyckte det såg "spolat" ut. Du behöver inte tillägga extra att det inte är spolat, jag har hajat läget, eftersom ett flertal andra inlägg handlar om att det inte är spolat.

[REDxFROG]

Raw Saab Tubro Power! Love that xD

I once too want to be a happy owner of a Saab Tubro. Overtaking already is easy with my Saab 900 II @ 130HP. But that Turbo literally FLIES AWAY. Cool! xD

[LyuboLove]

yeah they're awesome

a turbo car is like no other

i have a v8 mustang now, but i still miss the saab :(

[05Forenza]

That sounds like it was an awful trade lol

[LyuboLove]

not at all

300 horses versus 185 horses definitely isn't a bad deal

[HmongSkyCha]

Damn i wonder what he's tunning the car on and how much boost he's on?

[infernorossi]

Look at the APC Indicator it turns over the redline!!!

[wmakeigjones]

Is this an Aero? I thought the (originally!) lpt 2.0 cars had 100mph(160) at 6krpm and the aero gears went further so 110mph at 6krpm in 3rd?

[simonspiers]

These are great engines and with a few tweaks make stupid amount of power for a front wheel drive car. Spot the torque steer!

[zeuszeus00]

Looking at the video again the car accelerates from 80 to 180 kph (50 to 112.5 mph) in 6 seconds NOT 7 seconds. Is that FAST?! It goes from 80 to 140 kph (that's 50 to 87.5 mph) in 4 seconds and from 140 to 180 kph (87.5 to 112.5 mph) in 2 seconds!!!

[geisha62]

yeas thats DAMN fast man! XD

[borodani]

Yes that is fast :) Love saab. :)

Ps: Thats insane rpms, surprised theres no rev limiter

[zeuszeus00]

That's 80 to 180 kph (50 to 112.5 mph) in 7 seconds - must be in 3rd gear - very fast indeed - I have an unmodified Saab 9000 Aero with almost 350,000 miles! (that's almost 560,000 kilometres!) on the clock - it still flies, especially in 2nd and 3rd gear. Anyone else heard of a 9000 Aero with such a high mileage?

[WarGamezzz]

I just bought my Aero off a relative for cheap, its got 210,000 miles

[REDxFROG]

I don't think it's in 3rd gear.

It starts with a too low rpm of 3000 at 80kph already. Looks rather like 4th gear without changing it to 5th. I guess the Turbo does all the job.

A non turbo wouldn't be able in the slightest to do the same in 4th or even 3rd gear. :D

But I could be wrong about the rpm/gear part. Maybe Saab900 always has higher rpms.

[linkdozo]

A think it's a 35:låda (does 35km/h at 1000rpm at top gear (fifth)). But the a original saab only rews about 6250rpm, this one is up to 7000 in this vid. My "40-låda" (40-gearbox) does 180-185 at 3 gear @6250rpm. This should mean that the gearbox (at least) isn't an AERO gearbox. .

[Benniebassdrum]

We have a Saab 900 2.0, no turbo or anything, in third gear at 4000 rpm it already does 120 km/h. So i guess you're wrong.

[koglowa]

2.3.... AHAHAHA!

[Benniebassdrum]

What do you mean?

[AlHakeem55]

man you are all wrong!

I am right.

[xxdonatelloxx]

lol @ the boost gauge

and ur like 1500 past red line

[wmakeigjones]

bloody hell! :D

[vittupersesaatana]

Runs pretty well, just curious about whp and torque? Few of my friends have tried same turbo with 2.3 Saab engine and haven't been so delighted, mainly because slow spool up even compared to Holset hx40 size turbos.

[Antimeasure]

I bet everyone thinks that its MPH, but its KMH!

[bananpause]

well if a piece of shit car like this can go in 240 Mph then gl hf... offcourse its kmh

[vichog]

thats very very fast!!

[mellechmann]

awesome!

[apotekarna]

väldigt snabb??

[Trusten1984]

Okey biler, men en dårlig politik i svensker fører, left wing politics, i don`t like that !

[200twistatwista]

looks like a normal car but it's Fast!!

[mikeaero]

I have tested the car before selling it to another country

No automatic transmission

Kicks in about 3700rpm on 3 gear then hell breaks loose

Mods

GT3076

x-flange

750cc saturated with upgraded fuel sys

modded exhaust and modded breathing all categories

[diskman66]

hmm thats odd my turbo pressure never goes more than half way on the meter and that one goes off the meter is that normal or no

[aviatorsbh]

And wath the RPM! It's much over 7000! As I know the limit is 6000!

[swagger93]

This car is obviously modified...

[jeffeverde1]

It's got a modified APC to run a higher boost.

[bananpause]

OMFG 8000 rpm and what the fuck is up with the pressure on the turbo?? how many bar??

[fugitive1201]

yeah, right? How the hell did that engine not explode.

[bananpause]

well the rpm is actually up in 7000´rpm but haha the turbo pressure is whats worrying me...

[DarkTomte]

its a saab

[fugitive1201]

true, i have a '93 saab 900 S. The saab in the video is automatic though which is pussy.

[HenkJanPit]

This 9000 isn't an automatic, look at the display in the instrumentpanel.

[fugitive1201]

where? the rpm's are going up smoothly and consistently.

[HenkJanPit]

In the middle display. With an automatic there are four (green) symbols (P R N D) with the current mode underlined, with a manual gearbox you can read out the current fuel consumption, which are shown by a number of lights, and, as you can see, are in this case, by acceleration, all burning.

[sgtcht92]

its a saab mate, thats how

[dunderola]

well my standard intercooler went too pieces after a period of 1.5 bars pressure....need to be reinforced for sure

[holelotafat]

its a saab, one very good car maker, dnt forget they make planes

[Skrattmannen91]

HAHAHAHA

if you wanna see a REAL turbo car , search on V40 and look after a V or S40 with 675ps

Thats the fastest 2 liter car ive ever seen.

[kiddr121]

gaper

[ohlins8990]

They changed the gearing in '94, plus thats an Aero I think, which had gearing like that anyways. I no my 9000CD 2.3i did 85mph in 3rd, and my 95 Aero does 110.

[DarkTomte]

my 9000 2.3 do 145 km/h at 3rd gear, not urs :] and thanks for your response. it really makes me happy! :), and btw. whats ur msn? i want to add u :P

[lfsracer79]

I bet that engine is gonna last long when he keeps revving it like that.

[ryaneirich]

revving out your engine isn't bad for it at all if it's running right and it's warmed up. In fact an engine that gets loped around all the time will usually run worse than an engine that gets wound out on a normal basis.

[Travellinghobo2]

That engine wouldn't last two minutes if it didn't have that build quality. Saabs are built like tanks.

[ryaneirich]

I agree with you about saabs being built like tanks, but a stock top end wont support 7K + rpm, atleast safely. MY c900 would rev til about 6300 rpm but I probably would be floating valves past that.

[DarkTomte]

do the turbo engines have different gearbox than the ones without a turbo?

[empathyembraced]

Hey dude not at all. The just rely on another mechanism that bring more air into the injection system causing a bigger explosion in the cylinders. The gear box will not have anything to do with turbo engines.

[DarkTomte]

so same gearbox and differency at all saab 9000's? cause my saab 9000 CD 2.3 only does about 145 at 3rd gear when this thing does 180. and 90 when other go 120 etc. please respond :)

[ohlins8990]

Actually there is a diff b/t the turbo and NA 9k's. The turbo had a 4.05 final drive, the NA had a 4.45. I forget teh exact number, but the later 9k's and Aeros has a 3.6(?) final drive. Other than the final drive, all the gears were the same.

[TomtenT]

The SAAB Turbo models are fitted with different gear ratio gearboxes.

The "dude" 'empathyembraced' wrote like a clown in the answer he gave... perhaps that was intentional ?

Anyway the Turbo models have higher (taller) gearing to avoid wheelspin and make better use of the MASSIVE torque from the Turbo engines.

[palebeachbum]

Shift!

[danielkjellberg69]

I know wich car that is and yes it's really fast! ~500bhp/~600nm.

This movie shows 100-180 km/h(~60-~112mph) in third gear.

[empathyembraced]

How do you know this?

[gilraen690]

I have one of those, saab 9000 cse.... beautiful car! the saab is great anyway, my mother crashed into a moose at 90 kph in a saab 900 once and it didn't as much as break a wing mirror...! go saab =)

[SuperMightyMarcel]

what's you point, half the world has cars with a speedo in kph.

Or do Americans really believe the world is flat and the atlantic sea is the end of it ?

[Davve1111]

Haha that was a good one xD

[epicmj]

they are fast anyway

[joekirklin]

despite the kph, 9000 turbos are suprisingly fast cars. Nobody is trying to fool anyone here

[boon4376]

Faster 50 - 70 times than a Lamborghini Diablo :D

[stormchaserfla]

the car's speedo is in kilometers/hr
