Just read an Aussie mag called Wheels (Feb 2003 isssue) which had a comparison between a Hirsch tuned 9-5 Aero and an Alfa Romeo 156 GTA. Alfa has a 3.2 litre engine with about 240 hp while the Aero is tuned for 224 kw = 280 hp ?? and a huge 420 NM of torque. Alfa is a manual while Aero is an auto.
On the road, in terms of acceleration, the Alfa draws or wins up to 140 km (12,4 s v 12.6) but from 0-160, the Saab leads at 15.8 v 162. Mag gives Alfa the acceleration crown. On the twisties, the Alfa has better handling and again gets the prize. Overall, the mag concludes that the Alfa is the best front drive sports sedan with 4 * of 5*, Saab gets 3.5*. As for prices, the Alfa and basic Aero are not too far apart – Alfa – A$90k, Saab - $86k, but with Hirsch additions, the Aero jumps to A$115k.
