That sounds about right if it's in tip-top shape.
Remember that a 1987 naturally aspirated 944 will feel slow compared with most modern Saabs. I have a 1989 944S2 with the 3 liter engine (vs 2.5 in the 87) and 208HP vs about 160HP in the 85 and even my S2 doesn't feel particularly fast compared with my Stage 3 9000. Part of that is the lack of that feeling of boost - it's a steadier application of power, and it really shines above 4000 rpm (the Saab has a wider torque band). But get it in the twisties and it's an awful lot of fun!
