John,your numbers are off by what I feel will be quite a bit. Have not driven the manual yet, but did drive the Aero with the automatic, and it will comfortably break the 6.9 second figure you quoted for the stick. Saab had put a lot of numbers for performance and fuel economy on the July press releases for the 02 models, and they look like guesses at best, and very conservative ones at that. The auto will in my opinion come in at about 6.5 seconds to 60 miles per hour. The gap that you suggest between the stick and auto of 1.3 seconds difference is hard to imagine in this day. My 9-5 2.3 lpt manual does 0-60 in about 8 seconds. The new 02 Aero will blow it's doors off with no sweat. I think that that 8.2 second figure that you quoted is way way off.
