How do you feel about 5,000 rpms?.... Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: 9-3 models, Wrtctr, Wed, 16 Jun 2004 15:59:16 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
We, Saab sales consultants, went 6 months with only 175hp 2.0t Linears. When the 210hp 2.0T Arcs and Aeros came in we all hopped in and drove them around a little and shrugged "That's it?" Which is to say there wasn't hardly any difference around town.
Further familiarization found the extra power, but it's all north of 4,500 revs. The 210hp motor has a bigger turbo yes, but it also has peakier cam timing.
So how important is that 4,500 - 6,500 rev range? The 175hp Linear motor is plenty strong around town and off the line, the smaller turbo and less aggressive cam timing make it snappier in my opinion.
