Just got the new Road&Track issue and was intrigued with what SAAB is up
to in trying to hold a place in the world market. Those interested in in
how technology is squeezing ever more power and economy out of gasoline
engines will surely find their version going to new frontiers. Saab
calls it "combustion control" or SCC. It is really unique. Imagine
compression ratios that can adjust from 14 to 1 to 8 to 1 without forced
induction methods. With the head raising away from the block when more
cylinder volume is needed. Verrry een-ta-resting! pp.93-95 March issue.
Does any of this apply to the TR? No, but it's a slow day here in L.A.,
as I watch the hail melt from the lawn.
