im in the market now for a saab 93 aero i have test drove a few. if its a 6speed manual and your a stock lsj you might lose. what ever you do dont do a highway role that car takes off on the highway like nothing it def is a lot faster then my g5 and i ran a 15.1 in the 1/4 but if your the 2.0T cobalt you prob will beat him as long as he isint vtuned.

the 93 aero is a highway car thats when all its power is there. i got on the highway with the one and just punched it that car moves. but you being modded him being stock you will win. im not sure when the aero governs but im going to guess its going to be in the 130ish if not more.

Just do a 40 roll. By the time you hit 90, he will have to pull over to wipe away the tears. Plus you might save a few lives in the process. Top speed racing is full of fail imo.

SURPRISING.

"Saab 9-3 Aero models get a turbocharged 2.8-liter V6 capable of 280 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque."

You + bolt ons + tune = still funny funny joke



Very surprised at a turbo v6 in a saab....hmmm must research these.

They made 2 diff. Hp ranges
Linaer (base)- 175hp
ARC and Vector- 210hp
all are the 2.0T
I have the ARC model hopefully it gets tuned soon to wake it up.
Those hp ratings are for Saab 9-3s from '03-'05 changed in '06 and up to diff hp.

the 2.8V6 turbo was from 2006 to 2009. the 2006-2007 have 250hp 258torque the 08 to 09s have the 280hp 295 torque also can get awd. the cobalt being modded it will beat the saab but if the saab was modded also then that would be a nice race to watch. i cant wait to pick up a 07 saab aero
