My thanks to Brad Lauzze from the Saab Owner’s Association of Rochester for sending me the link to these shots.
Brad turns wrenches at Dorschel Saab in Rochester, New York and they got their first Turbo X’s delivered last week. Being a quick thinker, Brad called up Gary Stottler, owner of one of the best kept Saab 99 Turbos in the US – and a black one at that. Gary was only too happy to bring his 99 Turbo down to get some respect from the X. It’s the original Black Turbo, after all.
It’s a case of Black Turbo 08 versus Black Turbo ’78. And I think they both acquit themselves pretty well. That 99T certainly looks the goods, even 30 years after it’s release. That’s a tribute to Sason and Envall’s great design as well as Gary’s TLC.
The full gallery of shots is here. Click to enlarge the couple I’ve posted here.

Turbo X, I am your father…
Sorry, could not resist, whoever started the whole Darth Vader thing with the Turbo X anyway?
wow. against that 99, well the turbo x doesn’t look as inviting. of course i wouldn’t turn it down.
the 99 is still one helluva hot classic.
one classic; one soon to be….
thanks!
