According to this page:

http://www.saabnet.com/tsn/models/1984/pr5.html

Your car wieghs about 2800 lbs.  Thats 600 or so more lbs than a mk2 rocco, and 800 or so more than a mk1 rocco.  Your gonna need quite a bit more power to give any decently modded rocco a run....Saabs are a bit on the heavy side! (although, not as bad as say Volvos).

BTW, also claims 135hp for the turbo 8v, NOT 150.  The torque is impressive though....I need to drive one of those.

Actually, I'm putting in a pretty sick system to up the weight, but it's an 8v instead of 16 which lightens it some, plus it has 196 n/m of torque stock. By Cincy I'm shooting for slightly less torque, but a bigger intercooler, water injection, better air intake, free(er) flowing exhaust and upping the boost considerably. I'm not saying I can stomp you all, but I bet I can give a lot of you a bit of competition.

While I may have defected from the ranks by getting a Saab, I just want to warn you all that I plan on spanking as many people as possible with it. It already has around 150hp and it's only going to go up. ;) So if you got mods planned, throw them in before June because you don't want to get beat by a Swedish car now do you? Heh, the only thing Swedes are really known for is meatballs, volvos and bikini models. (No offense to anyone swedish)

Finally able to confidently hang with roccs. I was afraid I was going to be waaaaaaay behind in the caravan. Not anymore!
