So some kid in a black saab 9-3 with tints and the dealer sticker still on rolled down his window at a light today when i was on my way back from getting lunch with one of my friends. He was just staring at me so i was sitting there thinking....what the hell does this kid want. He wasn't exactly revving hard at me, but i could hear his rpm's going up a bit and staying there, so i thought...this kid is about to launch... I revved it up to about 2k and when the light turned green i launched. Pretty decent launch, so i was about a car in front of him for a second. At about 40 he started reeling me in a bit, then around 60 he was at my door. He stayed there until about 85 where we shut down, neither of us gaining or falling back. I was extremely surprised by how well he kept up because i thought those things were slow and heavy fwd small v6's. I dropped back a bit after to see exactly what it was, and it said "aero" on the back, which i knew meant it was the top of the line model. I just checked online and i guess they have a 250hp 258ft lbs turbo v6 and run mid 14's

i thought they were much slower than that! But i guess that's better, i took a mid 14 sec car

.

short version: i took a saab 9-3 aero from a light to about 85 by half a car.
