As we are all excited for the spring and warmer weather, I thought I would share some activities from this winter before we get overwhelmed with our Scuderia Alfa, Lancia, and Maserati.
Since I have a baby on the way I decided to upgrade from a car that had never heard of air bags or working heat to something a little more practical. By practical I mean a 2.8L V6 turbo with 6 speed transmission and electronically controlled AWD. Stock the car weighs roughly 3200lbs and has about 250hp. Just to be sure that my kid will never be late to day care I decided that 250hp wasn't enough. I bought the VTuner stage 0 package, this comes with all the software so that you can adjust everything possible but it also comes with a custom made map with an output of 300 to 320hp.
Here are some pics of my 2008 Saab 9-3 aero sport-combi, I think I should make a goal of being able to hit 60mph before you can finish saying the name of the car :-)
