The V70R AWD is basically an 850 from the beginning of the 90's. The 4x4 is another issue. That of course the Saab 9-5 doesn't have...yet. If you look closely under the rear part of the car. You will see interesting things regarding the possible future of a 4x4 Saab 9-5, i.e. everything that seems to be needed seems to be there. A big "driveshaft-tunnel" and points to attach a diffrent rear-axle... Now. If you really want you can beat the shit out of any Volvo, (even the R-versions. Because as you know, the R-versions are tuned at the factory, so it is actually unfair to compair a 9-5 V6 with a S70R. Now if you were to compare a 9-5 Aero (which is not out yet) with a S70R...) you can do it with a tuned Saab from Rolf Uhr. And it will cost you: (SEK excl VAT) About in USD 2,0 Turbo Step 1 - 215hp/310Nm (16 000) $2 130 2,3 Turbo Step 1 - 245hp/360Nm (16 000) $2 130 Race catalyst and 3" pipe from turbo to catalyst. About +15hp (6 880) $920 You can find more info about tuning your 900, 9000, 9-3 and 9-5 at: http://www.saabtuning.com/ http://www.saabtuning.com/9-5.html Or if you know Swedish or feel like seeing if there is something on the Swedish site that you don't get as an english speaking: http://www.nordicuhr.se/ Regards Magnus Ingmarsson (Who borrows a 9-5 2.3 sometimes.) ************************************************************************ * /\/\agnus Ingmarsson | Studying for a masters in * * Linkoping University Sweden | Cognitive Science * *-----------------------------+------------+---------------------------* * WWW: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~emperor/ | Phone: INT+46(0)705641323 * *-----------------------------------+------+---------------------------* * e-mail: emperornopsamtor.liu.se | Proud European Federalist * ************************************************************************
