There's something quite wrong with you, isn't there? :) <mutter>BMWs ... Not liking Carlssons ...</mutter> 9000 Carlies look fckn beefy ... They're a gorgeous slab of retro-action.

On the 2.3 9000, how do you distinguish between the 170 BHP LPT and the 200 BHP FPT? Is it still a case of a boost gauge on the dash? My mate's 9000 Anniversary is reputedly the 170 BHP LPT, although it does have an intercooler and the Aero-style exhaust. He bought it from my usual SAAB specialist mechanics. According to what I've read, the LPT does not have an intercooler, so perhaps my garage just overlooked that when I missed it on first perusal and he's actually bought a 200 BHP FPT. It does feel very fast! Paul Var tog v”gen v”gen? SAAB : Nothing on earth comes close
