Comparing 7 Saab models by their acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 60 mph) 900 (classic) vs 900 (NG) vs 9-3 mk1 vs 9-3 mk2 vs 9000 vs 9-5 mk1 vs 9-5 mk2 TIMED
my absolute dream car (perfect world) would be a brand new mint 9000 with just a couple minor updated performance mods. that would be a beast and unbelievably cool
Damnit the launch on the 9-5 was perfect for having ESM/TCS on, but then they ruin it by changing too low in 2nd, you have full boost in 2nd and 3rd man, USE IT!
AFAIK gear 1 and 2 have torque limiters in Trionic 7. It's there to prevent wheelspin so it's set very high, but you don't consistently have full boost until gear 3.
In my late 90's Saab 900 (when they first changed to the more modern shape), I had a naturally aspirated 6 cylinder manual. That motor is definitely missing here. Maybe it was only available in Australia?
@@striker1458 As I said it was a V6 and a manual transmission. I guarantee it. It was aubergine colour and the very first iteration when the 900 changed shape to be more modern after so many years.
Just to clarify, it was petrol. The first diesel car I ever owned in my life was a Landrover Freelander 2 in 2011, the SD4 HSE. It is also the only diesel car I have ever owned.
The 54° V6 was pretty slow. It appears only the fastest engine per model got included here. 2.0T for the C900 & NG900, 2.3T for the NG9³, 9000, & C9⁵, & 2.8T for the NG9³ & NG9⁵.
saabs aren't really good to compare 0-60s with, they are terrible in first gear and a lot lower peak boost in first to try and limit wheelspin, if it was like 35-90 you could really tell where the speed is for them
Full sized trucks and SUVs get better 0-60. It's a shame we can only compare to other Saabs in vlogs like this, but nothing can replace the feeling of driving a Saab.
