I am just a simple Engineer, but I think people generally get mislead by comparing "peak" HP and torque, when, especially for acceleration, the curves over RPM are more telling. If you have a "fat" band, it means that you are getting torque over a greater range of RPM. The peak really only applies for a second at that specific RPM, and probably in the Saab drops off much quicker before and after. If you had a CVT that could keep the revs at the peak of the curve all the time then you would expect more comparable results.
