boostpowered's 1989 Saab 9000
The sole purpouse of this car is to run in the pikes peak international hillclimb in 2012.
It only get taken out when needed more often than not just for fun.
It is in the process of having everything updated and race prepared.
As you can see my intercooler has a nice k&n stencil on it.

The engine stock had 165hp@5500rpm 195ft.lb torque.
It now has 222hp@5500rpm 267ft.lb torque.
