...160 hp OK, but torque is pathetic compared to the c900. The first ones to roll out of the factory could not reach advertized performance - a friend of mine owned one after he crashed his '86 900T8v 2-door (155 hp) and felt it was so slow that he had it checked out by VW's technical department in Belgium. They reported back it was 'well within spec'. After the G60 he bought a 2.1 litre N/A 900 and said even that one felt a hell of a lot gutsier on the road.
The Corrado's chassis is a gem, tho' - but as drag racing goes both suffer equally from the FWD disadvantage. OK, the Saab may be worse because of the nature of its torque delivery. Stock vs. stock, this would be an interesting race -both 0-60 times are within tenths of seconds, after that the Saab would run away, I guess. But if you've got more boost and more fuel, it should be no problem.
