This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------057B0931ACD592C28BBC8E50 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Saabsters, I love the way my '92 900 S handles curves and generally rides. I'm sure the reasons for this characteristic include the stock "anti-sway bars" (the front and rear chassis cross-members), and the box- or roll cage-type frame design which surrounds the passenger compartment. I've been told that, because much of the steel framework that surrounds the driver in the classic 900 hardtop is missing in the convertible, that handling is much less stiff and body-roll is much more in effect. Essentially, softtops don't handle nearly as well as their hardtop brethren. Is this true or false? Thanks in advance, Dennis (looking at ragtops) --------------057B0931ACD592C28BBC8E50 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=UTF-8; name="dennis.cathey.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for dennis cathey Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="dennis.cathey.vcf" begin:vcard n:;dennis x-mozilla-html:FALSE adr:;;;;;; version:2.1 email;internet:dennis.catheynopsamle.com fn:dennis cathey end:vcard --------------057B0931ACD592C28BBC8E50--
