C & D figure for 2.3 NA is bogus IMO

Saab sez 900 2.3i does 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 10.0 secs. Apart from that C & D road test, I've -never- seen anything faster than 9.8 posted for that car on the 0-100 dash. Most common figure in contemporary road tests seems to be around 10.2. There's no way the example C & D got back then can be anything near representative for the breed. Not with 150 hp, 210 Nm, and a 1,325 kg kerb weight, and the tallish gear ratios of the NA of that era. It just doesn't add up... But then again, eighteen years earlier there was something similar with the 99 EMS C & D tested. The 99 Turbo they got a year later was -slower- to 60, and Saab admitted that the EMS they got earleir was a fluke.
