I know this is not Saab related, so I apologize if it needs to be deleted. My best friend just bought a 2000 viper and is keeping it at my house for 6 months. I get to drive it whenever I like. I live on the west coast, he on the east. Although I'm not a big fan of these cars, it's growing on me. I will say this, it is the fastest street car I have ever driven. Here's the specs: Car was rebuilt 1,000 miles ago by the racers group at sears point. Forged pistons, crank-you name it, it's in it. It also has a 'Unichip' in it as well that they installed and calibrated. Headers with corsa exhaust and some weird baffled cat's-not ceramic. System is 3 inches. Lowered with eibach springs, and re-valved shocks. Stoptec brakes-Damn rotors are huge! Custom half shafts. 2 different alarm systems which is a bitch. Huge stereo system, plus more. Well here's the kicker, it has a paxton supercharger as well with a 8 lb. boost pully. Damn thing sounds like a jet engine when it idles. Now the real fun-dynoed at sears point-730 hp.
This thing is a rocket! I have never felt power that pulls so hard. It is actually scary to drive. First ride my friend gave me. Second to third-90 mph, the rear end broke loose. Next thing I know were doing 140 mph. We hit 140 so fast that I was amazed. The previous owner got it up to 185 going to vegas in 5th. He said it had more, but his wife freaked out.
Well I just had to post this since it is somewhat performance related.
I can't wait until this weekend. My poor saab and porsche's are jealous of big brother.
