H. <musicboxnopsamrider.co.uk> pressed random keys until the following was produced: >>I drove an Aero today, 5-speed auto trans. I did the on-ramp test thing, >>and it impressed the hell out of me. Then, the sales guy mentioned "Oh, >>by the way, that's not in "sport" mode; let's try that again". >> >>Wow. That's all I have to say. Wow. > Welcome to the wornderful world of..... turbo's! Well, no, I've been driving Saab turbos for over a decade. Same one, actually; my '88 900T with almost 250K miles is ready for replacement. Nothing major wrong, just time for a new one. > I love scaring colleagues - I go to overtake something, and the look > dumbfounded at me as I only drop down to 4th gear.... they ask why I > didn't drop further...... > "Oh well if you *really* want to know what happens if I do that......" A direct quote from me on the test drive: "Holy shit, we're doing 70". This was at the end of the on-ramp, after stopping for the ramp-stoplight. Uphill. Around a curve. And I was taking it easy because the sales guy was next to me. > Wheeeeeeeeee......... foot down and we're approaching the > stratosphere! Heh.
