Thats it. Maybe not quick Speed wise, but plenty beefy when they overtakes happen, and that sliding arround shows it can put it down.

Yes, it can put it down, but it appears to not have a great deal of grip. The question has to be asked ... why? a 9000 is a way nicer car to start with..

Saab is front wheel drive. Hence the Sierra is more fun.

Why not use a YB? Is it really more possible to make more power with a 2.3 Saab 9000 engine?

If it's an Aero, makes 225bhp from the factory. Then you have the oportunity to spend upto =A36k, but make over 450BHP and= =20 still retain reliability and drivability.
