well saab is safer thatn Volvo's and the saabs are dont accelerate well 0-60, they arent funny cars(drag stripers) they are good at acceleration from 40-70 , where it counts. the 9-5 pionered head protection with Active headrests, and the 9-3 has them now. the saab of '00 will be faster, in all aspects. the engine in the 9-5 is capable of 250 hp min. with some tweaking. the same engine in aero is 225 hp from factory, and can go much higher the 500 hp engine in the awd SAAB race car goes 0-60 in 3.2 seconds! its a 9-3 with aero engine TWEAKED!
