Riff is probably talking about a Saab that has had its computer reprogrammed by Abbott Racing. Would add approx. 65 HP to a 900 turbo. No additional hardware required. Abbott's chip ugrade can probably do more with the 9-3, as it is all-around a better car. I don't know if there is a similarly significant electronics-only upgrade available for the M3, but that's really the sort of comparison you can make. -- Andrew -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
