Well, I don't usually read Eurotuner because the writing is pretty poor. I bought this one, and was disappointed.
1) The engine is obvioulsy not a Viggen engine, but the original engine (It even says somewhere in the article that the engine is a 2.0! Cetainly not the Viggen 2.3).
2) The sidebar says the car has Brad's (George's Imports) ride height adjustable suspension. These are not coil overs as stated in the article. I know of no coil overs for a C900.
I can sort of see the Viggen engine mistake at first glance given the valve cover and badge(why put Viggen badges and valve covers if no Viggen parts, i.e. if the only thing from a Viggen is the color? One does not put Ferrari badges on a BMW painted Ferrari Fly Yellow). But still, the journalism should be better to avoid this. Plus, the author says he is a SAAB fan that drives a SAAB!
What I would like to see one of these magazines get acrossed is the great bargain of the C900s. Compare a 1990 C900T with $1000 worth of mods (more boost and WI) to a 1990 GTi with the same total investment. The C900 is a way better deal, yet people keep getting old Jettas and Golfs.
BTW, no "big" manufacturers make an LSD for this car, but there is one available (but it does make cornering harder).
