Is this B.S. about 9000 motor?

I just got my 91' 9kT back from the shop ($1000 tuneup/inspection job) and I started talking to the Saab master mechanic there. I'm looking to get a late model 9000 Aero, 5-sp, something fast that I can modify and drive the shit out of. So's I start asking him about which model to get (respecting his opnion as a mechanic), and he flat out tells me that pretty much all of the 9000 motors are actually made by Alfa-Romeo, and that NONE of the Aero models are worth a shit, especially any 6-cylinder models. He told me that outside of some fancy wheels and suspension mods, I could get the same Aero features on a standard 9kT of pretty much any year. Is this guy B.S.ing me? And of the late model 9000's, what year is best to go with - 96, 97 or 98?
Thanks!
