So I, like, got a car.

[Vonie]

It's a longitudinal I4 turbo. Any guesses?

 

[1X83Z]

Hyundai Scoupe.

 

[High-Test]

It's either a Subaru or a Mercedes turbodiesel... That's my guess.

 

[Vonie]

The Scoupe is an interesting guess, but no. And it's not a Subie or Merc.

I'm pretty sure I haven't talked to anyone on GTP about the car, so this'll be interesting.

 

[Dougboy]

an audi? One of them 1.8T or 2.0T?

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

SRT-4 ?

PT Cruiser?

 

[Tornado]

Does it have a Pinto engine?

 

[buickgnx88]

Dodge Shadow?
Plymouth Sundance?
Dodge Caravan?
Plymouth Voyager?
Dodge Charger?
Dodge Omni?
Plymouth Duster?
Plymouth Turismo?

 

[Vonie]

It ain't American and it ain't no German. I updated the 1st post with some more info.

 

[buickgnx88]

Is it Japanese, or European?

 

[Vonie]

European

 

[buickgnx88]

Gas or Diesel?

 

[Vonie]

Gasoline

 

[buickgnx88]

Well I'm out, Euro cars are beyond my knowledge.

 

[Vonie]

Alright, no more hints. I can think of only 2 cars that fit this description.

 

[Tornado]

Is it a Saab? And there are a lot more than 2.

 

[High-Test]

OH!!

Volvo 240/740/940 Turbo!

 

[Vonie]

It is a Saab, getting the right model should be pretty easy.

 

[High-Test]

900 Turbo

9000 Turbo.

...?

The 9000 was the last one to have longitudinal mount engine, I think.

 

[1X83Z]

It is a Saab, getting the right model should be pretty easy.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

 

[buickgnx88]

 

[Tornado]

Saab 99? I don't think people strive to own Saab 9000s, so I don't think it is one of those.

 

[Vonie]

900 Turbo

Yeah boyie!!!!

From the eBay listing, I'll have my own pics soon. I pick it up today or tomorrow. Me so excited.

 

[High-Test]

Congrats! It looks sharp! 👍

Too bad you couldn't find a W124 that wasn't white..

 

[Jim Prower]

ONOEZ! TORKSTEERZLOLOZ.

Pah, you know I'm teasin,' right?

Anyway, it looks sharp from the photographs. Any plans?

Limited slip, for example...

 

[Vonie]

Plans:

1. Fix Radio
2. Enjoy it

 

[DQuaN]

Those things give off a great sound. Nice buy.

 

[Tornado]

ONOEZ! TORKSTEERZLOLOZ.

Something must be wrong with Google Image search. It wasn't until page 4 that any pictures of Saabs came up when I searched for torque steer. For comparison, there was already pictures of two different RWD cars by that point.

 

[TopHat]

Nice car. 👍

James Bond drove one of those in one of the "Gardner" adventures, that has been "Q" ed to the max. (No Deals, Mr Bond I think)
