The Saab 9000 CS 2.3i 150 reaches 60 mph in 9.65 s (100 km/h in 10.13 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.52 s, tripping the lights at 85.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.09 s and the eighth mile in 11.73 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.
Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

The 1991 Saab 9000 CS 2.3i 150 is a front-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,365 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 3.09 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 9,544th quickest to 60 mph, and the 59th quickest of the 86 Saabs here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 85.6 mph, the 6,999th 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.
