Well, first of all your most inflammatory statement was that Saab makes "Dangerous" vehicles. C'mon! That's a completely ridiculous statement, and seems to be nothing more than a troll. There's tons of statistical evidence to the contrary. A Saab does not drive itself like some makes and models (see Honda/Acura), and if you (or I) don't pay attention to the car while driving aggressivly and accelerating aggressively, it can be dangerous. In fact this is probably true of just about any car that offers the HP and torque that the 9-3SE or Viggen offer. But, to emphatically state (as you did) that Saabs are dangerous cars, is complete B. S. Keep in mind that most people buy a Saab, BMW, Audi or whatever because it looks nice and impresses their family and friends, not because they want a performance car. So, for the most part, they drive their car like a Honda despite its ability to do more, and don't have a clue what torque steer is. You are on the other end of the spectrum and seem to be looking for the ultimate in performance and handling. While a Saab can me modified to offer all the p & h you might want, you should just look for a car that offers what you want without having to tune it. Saabs are not for you. Sell your car to someone who will enjoy it, and shut up already.

Sincerely,
