The ones I drove (as well as WRX's) I was not impressed. The ONLY way to get the quick 0-60 times (& also 1/4 mi) is to drop the clutch at 5K or so. If you do a normal start they are nowhere close to a sub 5 sec let alone a 5 sec 0-60 time.
Their passing power from 30+ is probably on par with a 200 ish HP 9-3 & nowhere close to aero's & viggens
The chassis is definantly worlds ahead of the NG900/9-3 platform however I do not feel out of the box that they handle as good as a 9-3ss. The ones I drove understeered worse then my viggen did!
Loves to rev because there is no power below 4K :)
It's just to bad saab couldn't talk subaru into letting us have a STi version.
