No way -- no 9-3 is faster than an Aero

Will a 9-3SS out-handle an Aero? Absolutely. But there is no way it's quicker (the 0-60 time for the 9-3 Aero vs. 9-5 Aero may be similar, but at any other comparison point, the 9-5 will blow the 9-3 away).
You should have felt a VERY obvious power superiority in your Aero vs. the 9-3 Linear, regardless of how you drive the Aero day to day. I would describe it like this. You jam the gas on both cars at 2000 RPM. At 3500 RPM, the 9-3 feels like it has already done it's best. The Aero, on the other hand, feels like it is just getting started. It feels like there are just mountains of power available for you waiting to be tapped into. That's why I love my Aero.
Love that Top Gear stat, by the way. I tell it to people when they ride in my car. When they call bullshit, I demonstrate!
