Saab 92x chasing Porsche 911 GT2 part 1

August 26, 2008 Pacific raceways track day footage. Me in my Saab 92x chasing a race prepped Porsche 911 GT2. He obviously has me on acceleration but with lapped traffic and late, hard braking I am able to keep up for almost 20 minutes.

Mods to my car that affect performance:
Cobb AccessPort, uppipe, downpipe, TBE, front and rear swaybars, SS brakelines, slotted rear disk with cobb pads, front Stoptech BBK with Pagid RS 4-4 Orange pads. On the track I run the Advan A048s on SSR Type C RS 17" rims.

Mods that don't really affect performance:
Gauge pod, Defi gauges, Recaro seats, 6 point driver racing harness

does the stock clutch hold up to your power? and is that a stock td04? what stage?

[eschild1]

@bigpunn421 Yes I am still using the stock clutch and have not had any problems with it . Yes it is a stock td04. This would technically be considered a Cobb Stage 2 with the addition of the uppipe which is not considered part of the stage 2 package.

@eschild1 how many miles on the clutch? did you dyno it? and stock injectors on pump gas?

my goal is e85, 4" bellmouth dp, uppipe,m2 catback. but i have to find a 92x first. just recently lost my car to stupid driver. b234r stage 4 saab 900se. but its time to move on and your ride is just what im looking for. thaks for response and good luck racing

@bigpunn421 about 55k miles on the car and it is the original clutch. Never been dyno'ed. I am running stock injectors on pump gas which is 92 octane here.

could anyone tell me what years and model saab's came with subaru components?

[eschild1]

@DirQ89 There was only 1 model and that was the Saab 9-2X and it was only sold in North America. They were only made in model year 2005 and 2006. You can search for Saab 9-2X on Wikipedia for more info.

@srsairbags Yes it is. Most people don't even realize it is a Saabaru. And the Desert Silver color makes no one think twice.

This would be an 2005 Aero. The difference being that the Linear is a normally apirated 2.5L and the Aero is a Turbo 2.0L. In 2006 the Aero was a Turbo 2.5L
