if you want 0-60 do NOT buy a C900, it will be a very costly mistake!! The trannies cannot take power very well (mine is 250+ whp/wtq) & if you launch it 0-60 the trans will explode on you!!

The NG900/9-3 are a MUCH better car for 0-60 sprints however the chassis sucks!! I own a 2000 viggen with a few simple bolt-ons & the flexy chassis really bugs me with the not-very-good steering feel, wiggling chassis & everything else. I do really enjoy the car though & that is what I replaced my SPG daily driver with & it has been a fun car! MUCH better 0-60 even with the power being limited!! It's also a LOT cheaper to modify the newer saabs then the older ones when you want lots of power.

There is also the 9000 aero's like people mentioned & finally the 9-5's which are the most refined of the bunch & probably have the best chassis for going fast..... reliably!

The C900's are very fun cars but their trannies totally suck. Mine went out on me 2 falls ago at a drivers school & it cost me over $8,000 to fix due to getting the trans cryo treated & shot-peened, Jorgen Eriksson LSD, trans oil cooler etc. Hopefully it will last me a long time.....
