For those that don't know, the 99 was Saabs first turbo car, (1976/77 onwards..) pumping out a massive 145 hp at the engine and around 235nm or torque. Turbos have come a long way since then, and if you ever get the chance to drive one of these you would know why. Need I say you could make a cup of tea in the time it takes for you to put your foot down and the time the car actually comes on boost, but boy what boost... :-)
Having said that, 200-250 hp is nothing to sneeze at, especially in a lightweight car, despite the lack of torque. I would also imagaine that those kitted honda Turbos would still rev cleanly past 7000rpm. Not many Saabs can do that without lots of work.
