if it is tuned right it will kill most hondas any day
saabs are not dragsters. but on the Highway in my 89 900T I can take 5.0's and GT's if the temps are low. when you pushed it untill the turbo was spinning could you hear rattling???? if so you were getting predetonation. heat kills a turbos performance. Somthing like water injection makes a world of difference... also auto tranys are not the way for performance..(obviously). here is a saab that has been extreamly modded 90k+...I am not saying to do this (who could aford it?)I am just showing what has been done. ususaly for 1-2k you can have anywhere from 210-310whp
