V6 93SS great rumor...... Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] (#81) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Mike Lynch) on Tue, 7 Sep 2004 11:28:22 In Reply to: Turbo V6 for the '05 convertible?

Global V6 from 3.6 Caddy is reduced to 2.8 liters and turbo'd for Saab. This is considerable upgrade from the 3.2 Caddy. The 3.6 has chain driven cams and variable valve timing, and I believe, and aluminum block too.
The 9-3X concept car had a 2.8l V6 turbo with 280hp as is several years old now. The 9-3X concept was the precurser to the 9-3SS and the new 9-3 Sport-Hatch has a 250hp 2.0T four.
I wonder if the fabulous handling of the 9-3SS line will be compromised with a heavier V6?
