Does my Saab have a problem? I have a 98 Saab 9-5 5 speed manual (my first Saab) and I regularly see other Saab owners saying that they are quick, however, I would not have listed this as one of their strengths. I love the Saab for other reason's so I am happy with it, but I'm seeing it so often I'm begining to wonder if something is not quite right with mine... Mine is not quicker than ANY V8 or most 6 cylinder cars, or a lot of smaller engine sports cars such as Suburu, Honda, Mitsubishi. I have had a lot of V8s in my time so maybe I'm asking too much out of my first turbo charged car? I have not put on any after-market mods that would increase HP but surely it should be quicker than a 20 year old V8?? Regards Starman from Oz
