I dont want to encourage street racing but hyundai boy needs to be taught a lesson.
I have found that saab turbos (maybe all turbos?) are not particularly quick off the line. I suspect that even my Aero could get spanked from 0-40 or so by many cars from a cavlier to a civic.
the sweet spot on these cars is from 30 or so on, the RPM is up, the turbo pressure has built up, and things are flowing through the head.
it might take some patience, but next time hang back a bit till 30 or so and then punch it. of course you wont want to exceed the local speed limit, so be careful of that. And carry extra kleenex ... to wipe the tears from huyundai-boy's eyes.
in all serious-ness, be careful out there.
