Your base 900 is an 8valve, right? How many miles?
By the end of college, my 8valve was just a dog - though it hadn't broken down during those years it wasn't tuned up, spruced up, or fussed over, either. And it too became a slug on even modest climbs, downshifting of little benefit.
So, if you're looking to fix it yourself, I'd start with a basic saab tune up if it hasn't been done in the past two years/30k miles or less. Plugs, fuel and air filter, cap and rotor, maybe wires, liberal use of injector cleaner for a few thousand miles. If you've already done that, have a real saab shop work the car over.
