I know, as I can feel the brakes hit before the engine dies. Here's one article (about the 9-5, although my 9-3 works the same way):
Saab Traction Control
For 2000, Saab's Traction Control System (TCS) is standard on all 9-5 Wagon models. TCS works in conjunction with the engine management system to prevent the driving wheels from spinning if tire grip is lost. The system operates on the front brakes individually, to transfer torque to the wheel with the most available grip. When appropriate, it also signals the engine management system to reduce engine torque by over-riding the electronically activated throttle. A warning light on the instrument panel illuminates when the TCS is operating, to warn the driver of slippery conditions. The TCS system is fully automatic in operation, but includes an "off" switch for circumstances when wheel-spin is advantageous - such as digging through soft-pack snow to reach a traction-able surface.
