The more you know!Thanks also

the difference in how it drives is unreal now, apparently it was 4 degrees out each side, the tyres were in pieces from only going to work since like last week, now its an animal of a car to move, no comfort in this thing, just you your seatbelt and sheer power

That is a proper sleeper there.

Lovely car, always liked Saabs.

0-100 in 8.7s? Not bad at all.

Had a quick look at specs for this model and it appears there were loads of engine options at that time - see below:

With 175bhp ? yes it is.. remember a 1.6 130hp Honda CRX does 0-100 in 7,6 and Civic with 150hp does 0-100 in 7,2

You know the Saab is a heavy car right? Not everything is as stripped out and bare as a Civic or CRX.

Going by topgear anyway, the Saabs were rigid enough to not require a rollcage for rallying, and it survived a drop on its roof quite well!

id be surprised if the engine still had all its 175bhp for the age of it. Can get it checked and sorted though

900 :- ~1300kgs

Saab 900 (3-door, 1985cc 175 hp) = 1260 kg
EG Civic (3-door, 1590cc 160 hp) = 1083 kg

0-100 in 7.3

Most of the Civics were slower, though. The 160hp was an exception.

Surely they all didn't have 160 hp but all Saab 900's didn't have 175 hp either. I was just taking the most similar engine to have a better weight comparison.

What I meant was that average Saab (and Volvo I guess) was faster than average european car. This includes European car made by Japanese manufacturers.

Swedish manufacturers never bothered with underpowered cars, they put engines that were fit for purpose.

1.4 Saab or Volvo? Never heard of that.

Apologies for OT:o

True, but depending on what you think it fast.. everything between 5 and 7 is fast, everything above 7 seconds is "normal" and everything above 8,5 is slow and everything above 12 should nog be on the public roads or maybe the bike section of the road
