yup aero is a 5 speed stick

the WS6 was actually sold and yes it was a 6 speed. just had an SLP lid, hurst MT drag radials and CMMG chambered exhaust just barely dipped into the high 12's if the driver was doing his job on the launch lol ... 9-5 is my new daily until I have some more free time for another toy.... 9-5 is fun enough for now though:D

I'm originally from right outside of Cherry hill New jersey but just graduated college last may and moved to the DC area

Thanks for the welcome guys... just getting my feet wet with a non V8 car for the first time as my family always had big american v8 cars..

after I get used to the car and get it inspected and all I might do a little DIY cold air intake to let this thing make some more noise haha


any Virginia Tech current or alumni on here?

One of my good buddies that I have known for 12 years just graduated VTech and moved to and working in the Baltimore, MD area.

Welcome to the link.

And don't kid yourself about the tuning of the 9-5...all it takes is the cold air intake which you said you wanted to do...then its the DP, then exhaust, then well if I just tune it, it will run better, ect.

Nice whip, so you went to school in jersey or are just from there? I'm from caldwell(up north) but I go to this liquor store "canal street" or something like that in cherry hill. They have the best prices and its worth the drive over the bridge when I booze with freinds in philly.


you'll have lots of fun with the 9-5, I'm sure you've already read about the first few mods ;)

i grew up in South Jersey but went to school at Virginia Tech which is in southwest Virginia. and haha yeah I know canals liquors my buddy used to work there. small world.

Because the 9-5 is my daily I don't think i'll be doing any type of ECU upgrade or anything like that yet. I still have a factory warranty until 2010 (saab certified used car) So i don't want to mess with that. I don't think an open air filter will void the warranty but thats not really a performance mod haha

butttttt I'm sure i'll get the itch to make it faster.. it seems to be a problem amongst us :)

Also I am a newbie to Saabs and these motors so if I say something stupid please be easy on me haha I'm trying to learn by going back and reading through threads but ya never know haha
