Awesome car. My dad has 1997 Saab 9000 Aero. It's a bigger car, same idea. Specialty saab built for speed. The 9-3 Viggen has a 2.3 liter 4 cylinder 230hp/258tq (new this year the Aero has 250, but i don't know if that decends to the Viggen also) Mitsubishi turbo pumping out a little more than 20psi. It will run a 6 flat 0-60 and 14.7@97mph and is limited to 155mph. They have 215/45zr 17 and i think they pull .87g's. Great car. They have horrible torque steer though.

GM will be getting rid of the 5door style for Saabs soon. I guess since they're cutting the Oldsmobile line, they're gonna try and make the Saab more "traditional."
