"You won't outrun one off the line unless the Bimmer driver doesn't know what the hell he's doing, because you'll just be spinning one or both front tires while he just motors away."
You're making it sound way worse than it really is. It's not that hard to get a good launch with a 9000 if it has ok tires and suspension. The 330i might get the best launch, but it'll be overtaken very fast by even a mildly tuned 9000 or 9-5.
As for Laguna Seca: Even though I don't agree that the difference is anywhere near that big, especially not if the 9000 has a decent suspension and tires, it doesn't really matter for people who usually drive on the street. In normal road conditions the Saab will be quicker. I certainly know what I find the most important.
And don't even think of driving aggressively in the 330i during winter.
