New Daily
I haven't posted this here I finally let the saturn go and got an 08 Saab 9-7x 5.3i loaded with heated leather, moonroof, nav etc. It came with some nice mods done to it by my buddy who was the previous owner (see sig). It needed some work and TLC; new front wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rods, calipers and rotors, fixed the rear air suspension because it was not getting power (bad connector) but I got it running great and looking great. I got some 22" tbss replicas for it and had those on for a while until I noticed a bubble in the tire so I have new tires on the way.
how I got it: detailed to bring the white back, interior cleaned fresh, de-badged: Front 20% window tints to match the rears and 22's: Still have a few things on my to do list such as fix the ugly blacked out tail lights and a couple appearance things. Going to lower it in the rear a bit via the air bag adjustment and make it more level. Pretty soon I'm going to put in brand new electric LS1 fans, new radiator & t-stat and a trans cooler in series with the rad. With the L92 heads I'm thinking of putting on a LSA blower down the road, but well see what happens. The thing is fast as hell, probably would beat my camaro sadly haha.

Looks good. It feels fast but would probably run low fifteens. SUVs are deceptive.

Thanks Dawg
Thanks! We logged it 0-60 in 4.9s and it pulls harder than my camaro up top hands down. I believe he ran a 12.5 in it last summer but waiting on confirmation, but I know it did 8.58 @ 81.71 1/8 mile. I stayed dead even with my pals 2013 STI with bolt ons dig race and 30-40 rolls. Seriously, the thing screws.
