The Buick site may list 240 hp, but the CTS and SRX get 255. Peak torque is 252 at 3,200 rpms, with 90% available from 1,600 to 5,800. That's a sweet, flat curve, NA or not.
As for the % increase from the turbo, why are we talkin' mild-to-moderate? I want a 9-5 Aero-style 50% increase. By that standard 350 hp would be "modest".
I'm all for suprising Nissans and Acuras. Hey I bought a 9-5 Aero after test driving it back to back with the G35. But I want to destroy them on the road and on paper.
I guess I'm just tired of Saab playing catch up. If this car does come out, Volvo will have 2 years worth of S60Rs out on the streets. Gimme one good reason Saab's goal with this car shouldn't be to make people forget about the S60R?
