SAAB to KAAB????
"Swedish broadcaster SVT reported that Swedish luxury sports car maker Koenigsegg Automotive AB and Norwegian investors are planning to buy SAAB."
So, if Koenigsegg buys them, to follow precedent, should it be KAAB? |

There may be new life for SAAB yet.

I bought my og900S -90 clunker for 300$. Had it for 3 years. Moved whole my home in it. Then I bought some used R-tyres, gutted interior, installed hotter cams, bigger injectors, intercooler, converted to E85, stiffer springs and did some engine tweaks. I run it on the track twice and lapped Porsche Boxter S on the track with it (he had street tires on though). It's the best car I ever had. Simple and hard-hitting as a hammer. Acceleration on highway is 930-territory. I move sofa's with it. My mom drove it when her car died. My girlfriend likes it as "she can accelerate from guys in shiny new cars". Gearbox exploded yesterday after three years of abuse though...I'll try to find a junked one and install it just for hell of it.
