Fair play, although 310 out of a TD04 with light breathing and ECU mods is a bit extrapolative of the truth IMO
have you done any 1/4 mile times in it?

it's a fecking saab 
a mate used to work for them (saab gb hq) and the 2.3t was stupidly quick but I ask
Is there a Dyno Sheet perchance ?
Must say I like those cars, never driven one but a neighbour had an Aero model 900 in Silver and it looked superb, Had a Volvo T5 estate at the time which is a similar deal, i.e. large, Swedish and turbocharged.

1/4 mile sucks as they are pretty difficult getting off the line

but you can see what they claim @ www.maptun.com
look under 9000 and stage 6....
'before I did my mods my best at crail iirc was 12.9 secs and 101 mph'
Must have had some mods to do that kind of time !
SJ, I am interested, love to see what owners of other cars can acheive.

For a FWD car to achieve that sort of time it doesnt seem like traction is an issue, I'd expect a far higher trap speed if traction was a problem. Weird...
Then again Crail are renouned for achieveing faster times than Santa Pod for example

Did you have your pipe and slippers at the time?
I have a couple of classic 900 turbos - 1 in excess of 260bhp, and it is hugely entertaining seeing the looks on peoples faces when you leave them for dead! My father has a 9000 aero with the maptun stage 3 upgrade, quoted at 280 bhp and 330lb/ft of torque. It does 60 in around 5 seconds and the 100 in around 12 - Not bad for a fwd brick.

A hatch in other words... not a boot which is an enclosed trunk like thing...

Ultimate hot hatch for me would probably have to be a lancia intergrale or maybe Escort cossie their both true hatchs and with 400+ bhp/torque they'd be mad 
I'd really like to say a Nissan sunny gtir but tbh even though I own one myself I doubt its handling could match the lancia or the ford

My last one was Abbott tuned with 'only' 260bhp and 320 lb/ft and I had enough trouble getting traction out of that so the 400bhp beast must be a real handful.
the Aero is a pretty great car in standard kit as it is.Nice one ylee coyote!
Please post the dyno curve when you have got one. I would love to see it.
