2.3 turbo?
Sounds same but slightly different spec.
Would expect a looked after one to do you proud.

I don't post lies

On the face of it may say a lot, but guess a lot depends on gearing.
Maybe diablo won't do 70 in second, so a gear change thrown in, or bottom of powerband in 3rd; as opposed to saab being at peak torque in 3rd.
Still, that's where you need it for overtaking, so geared towards real world driving.

Sting owned one, so must have been good in their day.

Had a Saab 9000s back in 1996, seriously shit car and seriously the worst thing I ever bought. Ended up going through the auctions with an engine full of Molyslip gearbox oil to shut the fucker up and a fooked clutch, warped disks, fooked gearbox, fooked airflow meter and 2 fooked window motors, which couldn't be attributed to driving it around Knockhill unlike the rest
