XWD in autocross
•November 4, 2008 • Leave a CommentI had the possibility to drive a AERO XWD at a SAAB Performance drive event and that car did perform well the Turbo X should be even better. Have not taken the Turbo X to the track yet since it is not broken in yet!

•November 4, 2008 • 5 CommentsJust after a week of ownership I drove from Stockholm to Trollhättan for the best performance upgrade a Turbo X can get. The Special Car branch of ANA Trollhättan added a swiss tuning by changing the intercooler, airbox and inserted a new program into the computers allowing for another 20 bhp and a much better tourqe.
All warranties are OK by SAAB which is good!
The car was sitting in the showroom like a magnet…
