I'm kind of confused...143 is in Saab's sales lit, as well as in the tech material. The May 96 Car & Driver shootout said it wasn't, but who are you to believe, Bedard, et. al, or the factory?
It is, admittedly, a US-only thing as far as I know.
Haynes wouldn't mention it because Haynes is British, it covers the Euro-spec NG. No speed limiter there. It is listed in AllData, which is transcribed from the Saab docs. Now, it could be a little white lie, car makers do tend to cite top speed low for the lawyers, and 0-60 high for the marketing department, but that number is hard to get away from, it's extremely consistent across the literature.
MBCs and maybe the custom ECUs also do away with it. Still dunno about the HOT.
I'll be at the dealer tomorrow, maybe I'll be able to steal a printout of the actual factory doc covering the limitation.
Now, RPM limit is somehwere around 6400, that absolutely exists. That one's easy to confirm, try not shifting! ;)
