I have a Saab 900SET and a Volvo 850 Turbo wagon and love both cars. My Saab is quick and just loves the corners. I estimate with the mods I've done it's about 215-220hp (14 psi boost).
My Volvo wagon, while much heavier and not nearly as nimble, is quicker and great on the highway (much quieter). The Saab has a very difficult getting power to the ground and a good launch required fancy footwork. The Volvo is mash the gas pedel and go (with an ECU, K&N and exhaust it's running 290hp), which is good for low to mid 14s in the 1/4 with controllable wheel spin.
The cars are complete apple and orange and i like each one for different reasons.
Happy Saabing
