More Power ? S90-V90

posted by  someone claiming to be Al on  Tue Feb 22 08:35 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Thanks for your insight on the exhaust system. The car runs nice but it is such a tank compared to my 745T when it comes to acceleration. I would love to have another 30 to 40 HP just to have it if I needed it. I figure the 745 (3200 lbs)is making at least 200 HP with a Saab APC system set at 14 psi. It is running 15.5 to 16 Lbs per HP vs the 960 (3540 lbs) that is running 19.5 lbs per HP. So if I could get it up to 220 HP it would run as strong as the 745. With out engaging the turbo the 745 2.3L runs about the same as the 960 with 2.9L. I will say the 960 with it's independent suspension handles like it is on rails. I love it and wouldn't change a thing in the suspension. I will tell you I haven't jumped on it yet so the upper power range (>4000 RPM) is a mystery to me.
