    I get 15.9x in the 1/4 mile. Alright Tone whats the secret to 14.xx's? I am going to try the TOD disconnect and front drive shaft dissconnected this summer, and see what it will do. Maybe I should shed my 175lb speaker box in the back LOL!

    Last time I remeber when someone asked this question I think he replied along the lines of "Come to MOAB to find out;pg;"
    And that was the end of it :deadr:

    Hey tone, changed yer mind since last year?

    Edit: Besides the SC & PV he also has an interceptor (the tranny shift enhancer) Sucks it did not work on mine tho

    I have all the above on mine as well and, although I haven't dyno'd or run on the track, I can tell you the power is extremely nice!

    I have all of the above on mine too, but I am not running 14's I could shed some weight for sure but don't think I will get to the 14's. BTW, I remember that statement before, but it's pretty unlikely I will ever make it to MOAB. Is your track downhill? Or is ours uphill? LOL

    At low 14's at that point were you running the NOS? I read here somewhere you had a NOS at one point.
    In my opinion NOS makes me very nervous, I've heard to many stories of blown engines.

    i was about to post the same reply ... and the 92X uses the 2.5 block instead of the 2.0 block, so there is a lot of potential left in the engine for modification.

    however, i still don't consider that car 'attractive' either.

    Whew, a blast from the past, hahahaha....

    Ya know, it has me thinking though. I wonder if AP updates and other mechanical mods would work on a Saabaru. Probably not so much NOW, since I believe GM is now overlord of Saab, or is it they are back in control of their own company again.... I don't recall. But, if they are still sticking with the same Sube guts and WRX mods work on it, you could have one sick arse Saab.

    Oh, um.... VX.... 0-60..... in mine..... never. In DC traffic, you never get to 60.

    I don't remember where I read it, but the current Saab started it's life as a Pontiac G6 - same factory, same chassis...
