He is correct in that they adapt to your driving style. I used to be employed at a Saab dealership in Western, PA and we had many 9-5 Aero drivers comment on this one particular 9-3 Linear that we had in loaner service. My boss had me drive this car once (we're both enthusiasts) and the thing was pretty quick. Reason being, everyone who drove this car (apparently) beat the snot out of it. The turbo would spool up very quickly and delivered quite a kick down low. I always felt like it ran out of power in the top end. This seems like a problem to me from a sales pt. that Saab has these adaptive ECU's b/c when people test drive the cars (say a 9-3 or 9-5 Aero) that is brand new...they don't feel that quick b/c they haven't really been driven. I don't get it.
That said, I have a '99 base car w/ the Speedparts Stage II ECU, Remus sport exhaust, and a SMBC (max boost is 15psi) and my car would eat the pants off any 9-3 in our lot. Perhaps that's b/c they were all new...who knows. I still think your Aero would take a 9-3 Vector/Aero.
