Saab 900 2.3 Turbo 150

The Saab 900 2.3 Turbo 150 reaches 60 mph in 8.60 s (100 km/h in 9.61 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.75 s, tripping the lights at 82.4 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.72 s and the eighth mile in 10.82 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the 900 2.3 Turbo 150

The 1994 Saab 900 2.3 Turbo 150 is a front-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,305 kg with 148 bhp, which works out at 113 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.72 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 7,698th quickest to 60 mph, and the 35th quickest of the 86 Saabs here. It leaves better than it pulls: 82.4 mph at the lights is only the 8,682nd highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. 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 900 2.3 Turbo 150 0-60 time?
The Saab 900 2.3 Turbo 150 reaches 60 mph in 8.60 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 7,698th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Saab 900 2.3 Turbo 150 quarter mile time?
16.75 s at 82.4 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.82 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.72 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Saab 900 2.3 Turbo 150 have?
148 bhp and 1,305 kg, which is 113 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 210 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Saab 900 2.3 Turbo 150?
Closest here on pace: Lexus ES 250 184 (8.62 s), Opel Astra Twin Top 2.0 16V Turbo 170 (8.60 s), Lexus IS Sport Cross 200 155 (8.64 s). Each one can be raced against the Saab 900 2.3 Turbo 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 900 2.3 Turbo 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.
