I keep it between 70 - 75mph as much as I can. I feel comfortable at that speed. >I just pictured you flying out of the >gates, shifting at 5000 rpm through every gear, screaming like >a banshee with pieces of asphalt, dirt, leaves and small twigs >shooting out from behind the car! ;-) HA!!

A Saab just is not a vehicle meant to be babied - although I don't know about the new ones. Those you probably do have to. >Unfortunately my >old normally aspirated 900 often doesn't have enough off the >line. You can't catch 2nd? >But I'm not complaining.
