Welcome. I used my V6 spider very often and it is a great daily driver. Our GTV gets used daily.
Off course the chassis is not so rigid as a coupe. But certainly not so bad that it is a huge turn off.
The V6 sound and the design are the strong points. There is plenty off space and the build quality is very good.
With the top down, sunshine and a full tank of fuel, you cannot stop smiling the whole trip.
Try the 916 Spider V6, you will fall in love with it.

You can buy 3 166's for that amount.

I tried to order the complete centre panel. So expensive! With all the switches and buttons.

This is such a great car. Saabs and Alfas have much in common. I always said that if I weren't driving Alfas, I'd definitely drive Saabs.
The build quality of the 916 is much better. The Saab has hard plastic and so many interior noises. Plastic parts just break off. Terrible.
My 98 Spider was much better built. Who would have guessed!

Yes, I have some email exchange with Hirsch in Switzerland? The car is a mystery to them to. All the parts are original Hirsch. They say it was built by a Hirsch Saab dealer in the Netherlands as a showcase. More news when I get it from Switzerland.

By the way, there seems to be one, floating around in the UK. LHD. I just tried to find it, maybe it has been sold. That was a very tasty black with red leather.

Soundcheck!

Got to love the Troll.

I can ask her to make another one and i will send it to you )))I am sure if you sell them on eBay. You can make some money. Or some with the Squadra 916 logo.
-
I wish I had some luck....You live in Norway. I call that being lucky.
-
You realize that you've made a steal? These trolls are listed at 10-20000€!!!2950,- that makes it 10 euro per horsepower. Sounds like a great euro to power ratio to me ;-)
The badge on the dashboard says that 51 are built.
It is so hard to find any info on this model.

So funny! Dog chews the bumpers and your horse chews the mirrors. Kunev's reply about unusual problems made me laugh even harder.
-
How cool. Complete with the GTV logo. I want one!

Auch. To many red details for my taste. I love the exterior color. I think it is a Brera color.
Are there many Alfa's in St. Petersburg? I know there are many nice cars.

Welcome Ben. Lovely Red GTV you have there. Surprising how many Bella's there are in Australia. A red GTV on Teledials, that never goes out of style.
Enjoy the forum, that is becoming ever more international. And off course, happy motoring in the GTV.
-
Welcome. Great looking GTV you have there. The red Spider is also very pretty. Enjoy the forum.

Another interesting info that I found. It is from topic for 9-5!
"Hirsch Troll are as follows:
Troll E engine: 1999-2000 250Hp; 2000-2001 260Hp; 2001-2002 280Hp
Troll R engine: 1999-2000 272Hp; 2000-2001 280Hp; 2001-2002 310Hp"
And from the same post:
"The 310Hp version has some traction problems, but it remains drivable."
Funny, this morning I was fiddling in the boot of the car. It was sold to me with no service history. What do I find? The complete
service history. Including a touch up paint pen, the spare " emergency" key and a dyno sheet, dated august 2011. Power output :
306,2 BHP
Not bad for a 15 year old girl.

I have enough with my MiTo for the moment. Planning new wheels for her now. Need summertires and I have a nice deal on these brand new ones:They look good! I like the two tone. Good taste you have.
-
The Golf seats for the GTV? Looking forward to see them!VAG seats. Let the hammering begin in 1....2.....3
No seriously. To me it is also a big gamble if it works out the way I envisioned it. Maybe it looks terrible.
-
Double post. Sorry.
-
Everytime I have wet pants. First the dark GT wheels, then the blank OZ's. After that came the BBS wheels. Now these lovely 4C wheels. You owe me some new jeans Joris. I have ruined 4 pairs now.

In a straight line it is a great car. Around corners, not so much. On twisty roads, a 2.0 TB or 3.0 V6 will be just as quick, this Saab needs all the horses to catch up with you after a few corners. The interior is not so nice, so much hard plastic. I just loved the look of this 900. I also like the fact how drivers look in their rear view mirror when they see this old girl is so hard to shake off.I like the fact that the model does not look so dated. A pretty boring but timeless design. I have more staring eyes in this, then I ever had in the Spider.
I am awaiting some essential parts for the Alfa 75. So I bought this for some fun. I am going to Denmark next weekend, and for sure I will take this old Saab.
Buy one! You will not be disappointed. These engines are easy to tune.

Aarrrghh! Why did you bring this Saab up here? I want one now...In a straight line it is a great car. Around corners, not so much. On twisty roads, a 2.0 TB or 3.0 V6 will be just as quick, this Saab needs all the horses to catch up with you after a few corners.

My guilty pleasure...

1998. It had the cosmetic update to be a 9-3. So it is a 900 that looks like a 9-3.
The engine is a 2.0 that has been converted to a 2.3 Full Pressure Turbo. After the Hirsch upgrade it kicks out 309 bhp.
I have discussed with Hirsch to kick out some more horses.
