Anyone know the specs on these? I was at a light with one and the lane I was in goes away, but I didn't anticipate a race. He didn't seem like he was paying much attention to me. But when the light changed he stomped it so I did too.

I could hear the turbo spinning up and he was only there with me for a couple of seconds, and by the time my lane ended I was looking for him over my shoulder (out the side) but then saw him in my rear-view, about 3 lengths back.

I thought those things were faster than an auto Maxima...

 

they're capable of high-6's/low-7's to 60, and low-mid-15's in the 1/4 mile in 5spd form, when driven by someone who KNOWS HOW!!!

Most stick drivers don't have the skill to drive them to their full potential (although most everyone will claim differently, however), and people like Saab drivers are afraid that if they touch the redline the engine will blow up, so they short shift a little bit

That's the advantage of an auto - you can run it right to redline and hit full potential everytime and with good consistency, even if it's somewhat slower than the same car in stick shift form

Nice kill!

 

noce job I know nothing about Saab's though
