I'd say it does, at least for it that is. My brother and I both own the same year 1988 SAAB 9000 at one time, although mine a turbo version and his the 'S' model. The difference was noticable but, not really that much once up to speed. If his were an auto and not stick I'm sure the difference would have been greater though. He now drives a 1994 9000 CSE Automatic and I still have my 88 9000 Turbo. Although his newer SAAB has a bigger engine(2.3L)and I'm still using the(2.0L)I can still out run him when ever I want to. So I think that the engine size didn't make for a faster car, but the trans sure made for a much slower one. If you get a non turbo just ensure it's at least a 5 speed and you'll be o.k.
See Ya,
Phil
