Anyway I have my C900 Aero for > that....which I guess supports your line eh? :-) The seemingly endless torque on the C900 turbo is something quite special. The relentless acceleration of a straight six BMW is something, too (and quite noisy with a Gr¸ppe M intake) :) I, too, have not felt either in an NG900 or a 9-3. Now, a tuned 2.3 9000 (or even a standard Aero) is very nice and IMO, more smooth and more relentless than either the aforementioned and that said, a shame that the 9-5 could not quite match that feeling ... and perhaps why people start to look away from SAAB at that point. It is interesting to note that Maptun offer up to 340 BHP for the mighty 9-5, yet the 9000 has tuning kits offered up to 500 BHP. Paul Var tog v”gen v”gen? SAAB : Nothing on earth comes close
