Saab 9-4X Aero 330HP - kurwa311 - Russia

[kurwa311]

ok changed oil, put motul dexos2 5w-30 6 litres inside. When i got car - oil monitor had 30% left, oil change was done at 4% and 5500km. Soon i will record video with acceleration from 0 to 160. While changing i looked for front wheel arch. It looks like 255mm width tires will fit just fine there, maybe even 265. With standard ET.

Don't Hirsch upgrades usually disable the speed limiter? I wonder what the real top speed would be.

[kurwa311]

On their site top speed claimed to be 233. The reason speed limiter is still there are probably the H-rated tires

[kurwa311]

Yeah got reply from hirsch speed limiter can be turned off

"Most likely, this car's Main Instrument Unit (MIU) has been configured for the tyres with speed index H (210km/h), which causes it to limit at that speed. If you have a GM dealership in the region, they should be able to quickly adjust the tyre type and the speed rating in the MIU using their MDI tool."

In combination with mounting of higher speed tires, of course. You don't want your tires to blow when you're doing 200+ km/h.

yeah, stock michelin is just crap. not only speed rating, but i feel they got problems with traction and braking comparing to UHP tires.... 255/50 R20 Y rated for next summer

Love the looks of your 9-4X's, but I'll keep the 400 horses in my 9-7X. Now if they could somehow figure a way of stuffing an LS-X into the 9-4X.....

[nordwulf]

The 3.6L engine with 308hp now offered in the SRX would be nice as well as it gets good reviews. I wonder if this would have made it into the 2013 9-4X as well. Unfortunately, we'll never know.

No point in 3.6i, if even 2.8T not good enough
