My Saab 93 Aero Sport Saloon.I bought her in May 2006. I previously owned a Vauxhall Vectra 2.2 150BHP Hatchback. The Saab was suggested to me by my son. I must admit that Saabs had never really appealed to me but I had obviously not paid enough attention to the 93 Sport Saloon !

My wife took an instant liking to the Aero..which is good because she doesn't usually take any interest at all in the cars I buy. Anyway the first time I drove one I knew I had to have one.. It was the first time I had driven a car with a Turbo...and I was hooked.

Eventually found my Aero after looking at numerous examples...She is Jet black with the full leather Parchment interior,elctrically heated/adjustable seats,Sat Nav, 6 CD Changer,electrically heated foldable mirrors...all the toys apart from a sunroof. I have added the US spec front markers to make it look a little different over here in the UK.

In the two years I have owned her I have gone to BSR stage 1 with a JR sports filter.. alleged to 247BHP but never had her on a Dyno to confirm it...but it feels like it ! Koni FSD with Hirsch sports springs help to keep her true round the twisties and a host of mcguires products help keep her looking the part on the outside.

Future plans are... Powder coat the alloys, tinted windows and a dual exit exhaust.

Dual Exhaust installed this week. I went with the Saab 2.8 V6 Exhaust and rear skirt to keep it looking...well,Saab! I did look at the aftermarket options as well as a custom powerflow system but decided to keep with the 2.8 system. I think I made the right choice !

Drilled and Grooved Discs all round..... Not a massive difference in braking but looks a lot better !!!!

Sweet ride. I like those rotors and Nav system. Right now I'm using a Garmin GPS that keeps on falling off the window! I'm really looking into that OEM Nav though and I don't really care about the price. I've heard how much those things can run ya. Otherwise, awesome car. That BSR stage 1 must be awesome. Take it easy.

Very nice, buddy! You're gonna have a lot of fun wit your aero and your lucky since your guys get the Hirsch options in UK. Just curious, what size is the piping of the new exhaust? If you can post a video or sound clip, that'd be awesome. Take care!
