LOL :))) The 8V SAAB is a very similar engine indeed to the 8V Volvo. I think there's more low end grunt. It seems sharper off the line. I also prefer the sound of the 8V over the 16V. It's a personal preference. If my car was totalled tomorrow, I'd look for another 8V. I just prefer 'em. Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
