I took my 95 9000CSE Stg 3 out on the track a few times, before I got my 1989 Porsche 944S2 - and the difference is very noticeable. Even though my Saab has more HP and a lot more torque, the 944 is a lot faster round the track. Don't get me wrong, I love my 9k, but I can't imagine it hanging with Porsches and M3's without a lot of expensive modifications (drivers being equal).
Having said that, the best investment you can make is seat time. Even in my 944 I get passed by stock Miata's and Golf GTI's simply because of the difference in driver skill levels and experience.
For your Aero, the SAS swaybars make a big difference - I have those on my 9k. I imagine LSD would be essential if you want to make this a serious track toy. I like my Hawk Blue track pads on my 944, but I'm not sure they make them the right size for the 9k?
