set up a free account on photobucket and load them with the [IMG] links.


The Aero's were pretty cool. I got to drive the first one in the US, came off the boat the morning from europe back in august 2007.

Congrats! I just picked mine up this past friday and couldn't be happier with my purchase!

If you don't mind me asking, what year/color/price did you get?

classicchev 05-24-2013 08:38 PM

08 carbon..... The price?? Depends how much I sell the LS7 for that came as a package deal.. Long story, but the short of it is I went to trade a ls7 for a ls9 for a project Im working on, and ended up coming home with both engines and the ls2 Aero, so with the truck I was pulling with I had over 2000 HP

Anyone need a complete LS7??

GR8GAME 05-28-2013 10:39 AM

How much and where are you located? Lol

classicchev 05-28-2013 10:17 PM

9ooo, and I'm in Calgary alberta, and I will ship it!!!

GR8GAME 05-29-2013 10:33 AM

Woah! I'm cool. I picked up my last LS7 intake to oil pan for under 1500 (it had 1 bad sleeve/piston), with fresh heads.

Got any plans with the Saab? My work pays for mine right now so I will be keeping the mods light to start.

I just bought a tvs2300 magnacharger for my 09 aero, I am in the process of putting in a 4l80e trans to back it. I love my Aero and you will not be disappointed!

classicchev 06-16-2013 10:00 PM

Yes I agree about loving it, good thing I have a diesel Mega Cab for the road trips, 26Mpg and diesel is about 25% less than gas up here....

The exact reason I bought one... Not very many people know what it is, then they watch me pull away from them...

Fun!!!!!

03sierraslt 06-17-2013 08:43 PM

What is all needed in the 4L80e swap? Is it fairly basic/straight forward?

TVS2300? Win! I have an edlebrock E-Force on my LS3 C6 and it screams.

You guys have never seen a Saab aero ? WTF !

They are badass , I actually like them a tick better than a TBSS, the nose and the rear exhaust exit is sexy . And they are laid out on the inside . Def a nice sleeper and you prob won't see another one on the road too often .

GR8GAME 06-25-2013 11:06 AM

Yup, they're the shit. Lol

Mine is bone stock and has gone a best of 14.2 @ 97mph at Sacramento raceway. It's begging for a PD blower. I'm just broke.

Old thread is old, but I just found it. :P

I picked up a 2008 Saab Aero back in December. Since then I've done a bit of research on them. In short, they are very rare.
- Only 500 produced in model year 2008, all of which were Carbon Flash Metallic
- Only 121 produced in model year 2009, 100 were Carbon Flash Metallic, 21 were Silver (ultra-rare)
- You could only add 2 options to these trucks: in dash NAV and rear seat DVD/entertainment. All other options were included as base.

Despite the rarity of them, the value has dropped faster than the stock market in 2008. IF you can find one, they will usually sell for a solid $3-8K less than an equally equipped TBSS. In my opinion, it is a far better buy assuming you don't mind the looks of the Saab. Mechanically, they are identical.

Love the Aero's. They're coming off lease's right now so get them before they all disappear. Picked mine up in Chicago with 29k miles on it last Nov.



This is a picture of my 09 AWD right before I finished it up a couple of weeks ago. Callies 408, D1 Procharger, LVL 7 RPM Trans, LC32 Tubular front K member, and a lot lot more... Haven't had it to the track yet, but it put well over a buss in a roll race against a car that trapped 113 mph. Oh and it's my daily driver up here in WI. Great street manors and very comfy ride.

Sick !!

But they they only come stock with 5.3s ? Or did they get an LS2 ?

JustAGoat 07-29-2013 03:16 PM

The Aero's were all LS2, 4L70e, AWD with a 14 bolt rear end. There were lesser editions, that they made a lot of, with 5.3's and V6's. But they were not called Aero's, they were just 97x's.

classicchev 08-01-2013 07:37 PM

Mine did not come with the funny smile !!!!

the more I drive mine, the more I like it... I do love the SS's, but these Aeros are growing on me, just need to lower it

classicchev 08-25-2013 11:50 AM

Got me some struts for the front and rear, now to take it down a couple inches.. Maybe this will help with the gas mileage a little:0
