Following on from the numerous acceleration and in-gear times i went to pick my son up from his girlfriends and found a deserted straight road 2 miles long

As it was dry i just had to try the beast out as i got 7.2 secs last night in the wet.

First go 6.585 secs, next go 6.778 secs. Tyres and clutch REALLY warm by this time so gave it the beans (don't like treating my car this way normally) and got...................

6.080 secs

Really pleased with that time, tried it again on the way back but left TC on (for obvious reasons after my crash with him in the car) and got 7.112 secs.
I'm happy now

No m8, Saab 2.0T Aero with BSR remap.

Never drive that quick with my kids in the car m8 as i wrote my veccy off just before xmas last year with him in it. (and i wasn't going fast then either) This was a perfectly straight piece of road and as i said, i put TC/ESP on to make sure

Very good time there. Was half considering one of these as my next car until I've read a few forums on Saabs

. Realiablity seems shocking. Also, lots of talk of rattles etc, very poor stereo. Put me right off

. Not all that bad are they?

Some are m8, the basic radio is terrible, mine has the upgraded one with 11 speakers, the forums are shocking too, i put a post up 2 weeks ago and am still waiting for an answer even though over 100 people have read the post

Mine had a problem with the clutch not long after buying it and at 24k miles it should have been covered under warranty but as with all cars, clutches are wear and tear items. Now it's sorted i've had no problems apart from an annoying rattle in my door. There is a fix for it but i haven't got around to doing it yet

Other than that (touches wood) it has been fine.

Until you actually see it in writing you don't believe it m8, i don't anyway. I've always been the same. Bit of a pessimist really.
I need to check something out with my PDA as i did a couple of 50-70's in 3rd but was shocked at what it said.
Last night was wet so could not get proper results but tonight was nice and dry.
