I got too 200 km/h before I had to slow down......truck traffic on freeway's and the general lack of trust I have with other driver's on the road prevented me from wanting to go faster. I believe I could have gone up to 240 km/h though....
I had an indicated 135 mph on my '03 Linear on a closed airport runway. At that point, it definitely cut the boost and just maintained the speed. It was still pulling at the indicated 135 mph, but definitely not that strongly.
I am thinking the indicated 135 mph is actually about 130 mph for the H-Rated tires that came standard on my car.

This is of course for the european spec models. Maybe it is different in the states, but I kind of doubt it. I hope this helps because my fingers are cramped from typing :cheesy: .
Apologies to the guys who have reached these speeds where legally allowed, but Saabcentral cannot promote or condone speeding on public roads & highways (see t&c's 10) - so I'm going to have to close this thread.

Well since Washington DC roads are populated by insane cab drivers and distracted moms behind the wheels of minivans and suv's, not to mention the 15mph rush hour traffic I guess top speed is irrelevant to me.
All I ask is a smooth ride at 80-90 mph when I can open it up.
From what I understand or read - does a BSR ppc upgrade remove the limitations/governor on a 9-3ss? If a few have reportedly gone 140mph at 4500rpm's and the redline is just a tad over 6000rpm's - one would think a ppc tuned 9-3ss should be able to do 160mph+ with the governor removed and ample road space. Is my thinking flawed - if not pretty impressive.
