After buying my very first 8V Saab 900 (an '81), I took my Dad for a drive and he immediately mentioned the beautiful "jet engine whine" and exhaust note. I thought that was an interesting way to describe it! Happy Saabing! That’s music to my ears!

Love the way it holds the gear all the way up the hill too.  Cars do sound better with a manual box.  Great sound.
