    210 hp makes me think those zero to sixty and quarter miles should be much faster Must be a heavy car

    I think the auto gearbox hinders the time. I think the manual version is supposed to be 7.7 secs

    I agree. Dumb transmission. It’s ok Saab, Toyota muffed things up with the LFA’s tranny too. That was a MUUUUCH bigger mistake! It’s like buying a drooling Rottweiler that is scared of squirrels.

    9 seconds for 0-60 is very slow for 210hp, especially being that turbo engines usually have much flatter torque curves. I have a 2018 VW Tiguan Limited with a 200hp, 207 lb-ft of torque 2L turbo 4 cylinder (and added weight of AWD). That will do 0-60 in just under 8 seconds. The automatic transmission is likely partly to blame, as well as weight penalty due to being a convertible. But I am also be inclined to think that the hp and torque figures are overrated for the SAAB engine as well.

    The auto has limited boost in 1st and 2nd gear that why the 0-60 is so slow. I have one with a stage 2 tune and on a highway it walks on most v8s that are N/A. Honestly might be one of the best "tiptronic" style autos full boost shifts are nice.

    If you want to race, get a race car. This is a cruiser with plenty of power for overtaking and accelerating. 1s over 0-60 is barely noticeably in the grand scheme of things on a highway

    Very fast for when it was released. Keep in mind they are 20 years old. You might have forgotten that. Compare this to a 20 year old civic and the civic is left as a passenger at the red light
