WOW! what a machine!! I'm a 17 year old kid with a 91 9000s (non turbo)and the raw muscle of my friend's FIrebird almost made me giddy with excitement. I unintentionally hit 100mph on a stretch of highway, felt like I was driving 60mph. That beasts hits 45mph in 1st gear! And surprisingly, it corners beautifully too ( just have to let of the throttle before entering a turn). Right after driving my friend's car, I drove my saab and was so depressed. Dont get me wrong..i LOVE my saab. But, the suspension on my car was FAR worse than the firebird. IT felt like I was redlining in every gear just to get the saab up to 45mph. What modifications can I have done to improve handling. I would most likely spend some money on suspension and stopping power. The car has 146,500 miles on it. I am confused...don't know whether I should sell the Saab or spend some money modifying it. I will be going to college in the fall and probably wont need a car.
