A 9-3 has an trailer limit of 1000 lbs for a unbraked trailer, and 2000 lbs for a braked trailer. The 9-3 was *not* designed to be a towing vehicle. It is a performance sedan.
Since the TR6 will be on a dolly, it is an unbraked trailer. I'd guess the TR6 weighs around 2200 lbs or so, maybe more. You'd exceed the rating by around 1200 lbs. So towing the TR6 behind the 9-3 could easily burn out your turbo, clutch, transmission, or other part when you start to climb those Smokey Mountains in Tennessee.
My advice would be to rent a moving truck for your stuff, then trailer the TR6 behind that truck. Why risk your 9-3 when there are good alternatives?
