Problem with the Audi is it revs high so you need to drop a gear to get the power going.
Net: a 340bhp is much quicker than a 250bhp one of the same weight (they are both similarish arent they?) So - flat our with both drivers using the full power of the cars, the audi will be much quicker. There's an added loss that the 4wd has more drag though.
BUT - the saab will be quicker in gear due to the fat torque in the midrange i.e if you dont drop down a gear or 2 and access the power.
High power non-turbo cars are very linear in power delivery and often feel much slower than they are. (ps : I have a 340bhp 9k Aero and love it)
