Wow, a 250 HP engine in a SAAB Aero? Who'd have thought it was possible? Oh, yeah, they did that in the '93 9000 Aero with 4 cylinders and 2.3 liters. Progress schmogress... -Fred W >> POWERTRAIN: 2.8-liter, 250-hp, 258-lb-ft turbocharged V6; fwd, six-speed >> manual > Wow, a 250 HP engine in a SAAB Aero? Who'd have thought it was possible? Yeah, but think of the tuning-potential of that engine. ;o) > Oh, yeah, they did that in the '93 9000 Aero with 4 cylinders and 2.3 > liters. Arrm no! That was 225 Bhp. ;o) Cheers! >>>POWERTRAIN: 2.8-liter, 250-hp, 258-lb-ft turbocharged V6; fwd, six-speed >>>manual [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Arrm no! That was 225 Bhp. ;o) My bad. That was 258 Ft/lbs torque on the 2.3L 4cyl 9000 Aero, which is what really matters anyway... ;-) -Fred W > >>>POWERTRAIN: 2.8-liter, 250-hp, 258-lb-ft turbocharged V6; fwd, six-speed > >>>manual [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > -Fred W But 250bhp plus overboost in the 9-5 2.3L 4cyl Aero. I suppose the market dictates that the performance variant must have 6cyl. >> Neither Saab executives nor devotees have had many reasons to smile >> lately, >> but on this day the overtly good-natured Swedes manage to flash their >> biggest grins and extend the warmest of handshakes to visitors of their >> Trollhattan factory... Er...soon-to-be-closed Trollhattan factory. :-( - tex > J.
