Hehehe, just the kind of > thing we all love to hear. > Oh yes, I recognise that. I think that originally it was the motoring journalists who moaned about the high power Saabs having too much torque steer. I guess having too many cars to try out makes you aware of what they can and cannot do, but misses the point that people can get used to the handling characteristics and manage perfectly OK. The "difficult situations" I mentioned earlier are few and far between. I'd put torque steer as feeling the most odd, but once you recognise it it's easy to spot and do something about (less power usually!). > > Thanks for the response, I appreciate it. Good luck on the selling of your T16, > you're right, someone will get a good deal. Are you sure you don't want to park it in > the backyard for those 'weekend drives'? Yeah, I'd love to keep it; I'd also like an original 99 turbo too (1978 black 3 door), but there's little enough space as it is and another car wouldn't go down well with the wife. > > Cheers.
