Since you have to have an automatic that limits your choice a little - the 3-speed auto in the C900's is complete crap, so those are out.
Do you want to be competitive? Or show your brand loyalty and have a cool Saab to bomb around in?
If you want to be competitive and have to have an automatic, I'd probably steer you towards an E36 3-series BMW.
If you want a Saab and need an auto, a 9000 might be a good compromise, the ZF automatic is pretty good and they toss around OK - the chassis isn't fantastic, but you can get them reasonable cheaply.
Keep in mind in SCCA at least having a car with a turbocharger automatically bumps you up several classes, and most of the turbo Saabs aren't very competitive against what you are grouped together with, like Mini's and Evos and such.
(My race car is a non-turbo early model 99 like Jordan's)
