Famous Saab driven by yours truly — we have a winner!
…and the winner is, No. 9! (I also like that classy UrSaab avatar that he uses.)
As posted earlier, I was fortunate enough to drive the 1997 Pike’s Pike 900 Turbo!! (Even though he guessed the 1995 race, I’ll give it to him.)
Swade, you can’t win the games at your own party, pal.
More pics after the break.
This is a TIGHT squeeze, I’ll tell you now. And those seats are so narrow that I couldn’t sit all the way down on the horizontal surface, I was wedged against the sides about two-three inches above the bottom! There’s a reason that race car drivers get into the race cars with that one motion jump/swing from the roof — because that’s the only way to get in!!

You lucky, lucky b******….
ctm: Yes. Yes I am. And I wear it proudly.
More on the drive in a later post. Stay tuned.
What kind of engine is in that 900? What amount of ponys does it have?

I had the pleasure of driving this car as well… the tune of Trionic (maybe even standalone, I don’t know) was really aggressive. Combine that with the bald tires and it made for quite the fun ride.
