The transverse drivetrain layout of the 9000 is much more efficient than the c900 setup, and thus there is far less power lost between the crank and the wheels. Same engine, at least for '86-90 9000T vs c900. Now when you get into the 2.3l 9000T, '91-'98, forget about it, the 2.3l 9000T has at least 30% more torque, which peaks at 40% lower rpm than the good old 2.0l. The NG900 or 9-3 is more competitive to the 9000 (either) when it comes to acceleration.
The 2.3l 9000Ts are damn fast without ANY bolt on's, sub 7 second 0-60, a claim none of the c900s can make in stock form, if memory serves.
Top speed depends on the interaction of aerodynamics and HP. I don't know what the Cd (coefficient of drag) is of the 9000 or other Saabs, so can't comment on that. I'll say that my '87 9000T in stock form, hit the last mark on the speedo (145 mph), others with 900Ts can comment in comparison
