In the recent (if not latest) Autosport there's a private ad for a M reg SAAB 900 Turbo Abbott racing prepared. It says it's lowered, has an abbott exhaust and 240bhp.
What's interesting though is that the chap says, 'Eats Imprezas for breakfast!'
Having had a P reg 900 turbo, I got quite used to lift off oversteering to get round corners, so I'm wondering whether I'm alone in thinking this is a pretty bold claim.
comments?

Mate on mine has a seriously modified 900 Turbo - bored out engine, decat exhaust system, bigger turbo, uprated brakes, suspension and gearbox (he's knackered 2 this year already 
) all by Abbott Racing. Estimated at 300+ bhp. Very impressive.
But at the end of the day, its still front wheel drive with a chassis that wouldn't look out of place on a horse and cart.
If he can stop the front wheels spinning, then it is very fast - but its still no match for an Impreza on the twisty bits and I reckon there are plenty of people on this board who would beat him on a race track.
Sounds good though!
