GM bought Saab in early 2000’s and marketed them terribly so they didn’t survive. I love my 9-3, but damn are the trim and interior plastics garbage. Any amount of bass from the speakers rattle the shit out of the doors. And the handbreak is one of the worst ive ever used. Great car, but has its quarks.

The main reason for limiting top speed is safety. There is some engineering to cost in there too. For example, tires with higher speed ratings cost a lot more and one way they shed the additional heat from higher speeds is to be thinner. Thinness comes at the cost of reduced puncture resistance. In the old days, this didn't matter because most cars could not go fast enough for high speed induced tire failures. The larger brakes you mentioned were probably required to remove the speed limiter.

You are welcome. The engineering is really cool. I will always remember the first time I saw some racing tires up close and unmounted. They were so thin they were folded up. They stayed round because of the steel wire in the beads but everything in between the beads was folded nearly flat.

Steering wheel is unique to the turbo X. It's bit thicker than the other ones. Altough it's a great steeringwheel I decided to go for the Hirsch wheel which has a even more dynamic look to it and features a flat bottom. You also have a personlized message in the SID when starting up.. and it can be changed with the Tech2 :) BR SaabCars

The (no so) funny thing that SAAB did was actually selling a "TX package" which contained front lip, mesh, back diffuser and exhaust tips, greyed grille and taigate handle, carbon package inside and the steering wheel as well, same for the wheels. Wheels could have been bought even outside of the package, as well as premium leather seats and that steering wheel. Then we go for the cluster turbo gauge - Independence edition got them the same orange as TurboX :-P so after all, not much left from the TX exclusive for the TX. Nothing at all, actually :-P unfortunately. Yes they are special, I have one myself and it was a dream, but I still feel like SAAB made it less special afterwards trying to make money.

Isn't the torque limit on other SAABs related to boost pressure and able to be eliminated with a tune? Maybe I am wrong but I have an 01 9-3 and I could swear when I had it tuned the tuner told me that the car was normally boost limited lower in 1st and 2nd gear but that after the tune all gears would be equal. Is there something else limiting torque?

You can get a 2009-2011 cross-wheel drive but it will be a 2.0L T and not a 2.8L. They also had cross-wheel drive in the NG 9-5 (2010-2011) but not sure if that is the same system in the 9-3. Saab even made an AWD Volvo style "cross-country" wagon that had plastic around the wheel openings and targeted for more off-road like. Those also had the 2.0L Turbo though you could get one with a manual. Look at it this way: SAAB was a sinking ship in 2008 and no way was GM going to throw more R&D $$$ at the higher end models which usually have a lower profit margin.

BS, of course the torque limiters for first 2 gears can be turned off at will, there's nothing special with the ME9.6 software in the TurboX, it was the same as in the "standard" Aero of 2008 (all B284 9-3s have the same Bosch ME9.6 EMS). The maps to look at are called: KFMDBGRG_0_A, Engaged gear torque limitation 1 and KFMDBGRG_1_A, Engaged gear torque limitation 2. One "drawback" of the TurboX is that due to the torque limiters being turned off, it's not allowed to have a tow hitch on the TurboX. On 4-cyl SAABs with Trionic 8 it's even easier due to the devlopment of Trionic Suites, I strongly advice against it though as transverse gearboxes are small and do not really like high torque wheelspin. The steering wheel is different, and there was an option for premium TurboX leather seats too (those were not standard), and of course the 19" TurboX wheels. There were actually mostly cosmetic differences between a TurboX and standard V6 Aero XWD of 2008. In 2010, you could even get the option "TX" and have most of the TurboX-look (grey stuff instead of alu, carbon interior and so on). Top speed is limited to 250km/h or 151mph. That is very easy to up quite a bit. A stock TurboX will not do much over 250 though as the XWD robs the car of a lot of power. Speaking of the XWD, it's nothing special actually, just a fairly standard Haldex system. Makes you quick in the start, slow on the top and sets you back loads for service and parts (and you're gonna need a lot of both as the system is fragile and SAAB forgot to add it to the standard service).

Sensing a lot of negativity in this comment. As I stated, the car can be primarily FWD at higher speeds (or just about any speed I believe).

It's standard Haldex, same system you find in many cars: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haldex_Traction The part about service is true though. SAAB stated that the system did not need service for the life of the car. That turned out to be a real problem. Loads of rear axels had to be replaced. The first thing any SAAB XWD owner should do is to make sure the oil/filter in the rear axle and the coupler is fresh. They can wear down really quickly without fresh oil. The new recommendation is to replace oil and filter every 40k miles.
