About the 9-3 Convertible 2.3 150

The 1998 Saab 9-3 Convertible 2.3 150 is a front-drive naturally aspirated roadster of 1,370 kg with 148 bhp, which works out at 108 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.15 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 10,360th quickest to 60 mph, and the 66th quickest of the 86 Saabs here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 84.3 mph, the 7,647th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Saab 9-3 Convertible 2.3 150 0-60 time?

The Saab 9-3 Convertible 2.3 150 reaches 60 mph in 10.12 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 10,360th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Saab 9-3 Convertible 2.3 150 quarter mile time?

17.86 s at 84.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.99 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.15 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Saab 9-3 Convertible 2.3 150 have?

148 bhp and 1,370 kg, which is 108 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 204 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Saab 9-3 Convertible 2.3 150?

Closest here on pace: DS Automobiles DS 3 Cabrio 1.6 VTi 120 (10.00 s), Saab 900 Cabrio 2.3 130 (10.13 s), Citroen C4 Hatchback 2.0 140 (10.12 s). Each one can be raced against the Saab 9-3 Convertible 2.3 150 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

Are these real measured times?

No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Saab 9-3 Convertible 2.3 150 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
