I've won and lost...
I raced my friend for about 1/6 mile and beat him twice by 2 cars and then 1 car. I guess he sucked at shifting with this button shifters :/
I lost to one up to about 80 mph by 1/2 car
I raced one on the highway and it drafted me and beat my ass. Basically, his 30+ HP plus Draft killed me. I don't know about older saabs, but the new ones SUCK BALLS for top speed.
btw, I have a 9-3 Base Automatic 2001 with a boost controller which doesn't even help I think. Also lowered with Eibach Springs, Kumho 712s, and SSR GT1s.
For low end speed, you should be able to take them or hang with them...on higher speeds, you're dead with their +30 HP and .29 drag coefficient.
