To prove my g/f auntie wrong, what will win...

[Rob_Willow]

She wants to show me up in her 2002 02 Reg Saab 9-3 2.0 Turbo Eco convertible. I have a 172 phase 2. I know the new saabs are quick but this is the older shape, which i'm not to clued up on.

??

 

[trailerparktrev]

You'll blitz her.

 

[Keano]

the aero wud eat u for breakfast

 

[Vish]

Not sure what power model she has but quickest 2.0T is 6.9s to 60 according to parkers.

http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/specs/Summary.aspx?model=791

If hers is the 205bhp model it'll prob be down to who has the best start and who can change gear quicker.

 

[JR]

She either has the 154bhp model or the 185bhp model, as the HOT Turbo is the Aero.

I would have thought you will do well either way chap, Saab's are heavy cars .

 

[Fred@BTM]

is the really quick one called the Viggen?

 

[C.J]

I'd say you'll have her for sure.

 

[MillerLight]

i beat a 52plate 93 aero in my 172. 0-50 ish

 

[xxMariexx]

I reckon the clio would win, its all about the driver as well.

 

[Timmay]

you have to win - cant let a woman beat you end of lol

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

The Eco turbo's are piles of crap - you would rape it

According to letstorquebhp.com

Saab 9-3 2.0 Aero
BHP: 205
BHP / Ton: 153
0-60: 7.02
0-100: 18.9

Clio 172 FF
BHP: 170
BHP / Ton: 155
0-60: 6.96
0-100: 18.52

If these stats are correct, it's going to be down to your starts.

Either way, tell her before you 'try it on' that her car is 205bhp, and your's is 170bhp

 

[Bluebeard]

I had a 250bhp HOT model, and from 60mph upto about 140, i doubt anything could keep up. it was insane.

0-60 was poor though. You either end up in a cloud of wheelspin, or you bog down. Walk in the park for you mate.

 

[Maxx]

You will win as she will prob crunch the gearbox changing into second..


*hides*

 

[MillerLight]

dont do a rolling start though. she beat imo

 

[Rhino172]

your girlfriend is your auntie?

 

[DaveLiquid182]

Pmsl Just a little bit quicker i think ha ha

 

[Timmay]

your girlfriend is your auntie?

ah so its not just norfolk people who are inbred

 

[C.J]

your girlfriend is your auntie?

:lolup:

 

[JON13S]

you will beat it no dobt. the drop tops weigh loads.

i had a 2003 sport saloon aero for my last car. theyre a little different to the old sheds. with a remap on board it was pokey. once the power is down (mid second gear) it would pull all the way to the end. surprised loads of people the older ones suck and if you come across the newer shape one with an exhaust at each side. they are 2.8v6 turbo iirc.

 

[agithegreat]

Just put a turbo on your's, ITB's and remap, and don't tell her lol!
Then you'd cain her!

 

[Chavadurkin]

Do you not remember the episode of topgear when JC took one out..........

The acceleration in 2nd in the aero from 20-70 is quicker then a 911 turbo ! and that is without turbo lag from the 911.

My opinion - aero will win ( providing it aint the slower 2.0t model ).

 

[.GAZ.]

your girlfriend is your auntie?

lol

 

[jesus]

race the b**ch and find out

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

It's not an Aero

 

[AndyWilde]

ul beat her!!!

 

[Cupster]

your girlfriend is your auntie?

lol, exactly how I read this too!

Down to the driver imo, ownage by aunt is not good!

 

[JR]

is the really quick one called the Viggen?

Fred , the Viggen was the quickest from that era (sp) of the saab turbo's.

The Viggen was quite quick yes, what they did is take the Aero engine from a 95 and put it in a 93 body.

Hence being the quickest.

However if you go to Hirsch (sp) or Abbot Racing i think they are called both do some very nice modifications which help to make them quicker.

sorry for the reallly stupid question but im baffled:

i thought tat the higher the BHP the faster the 0-60 and the car etc...so why has the Saab got a higher BHP but the Clio is faster...is it due to the weight of the car or something?

sorry again

How fast can you run with a 25kg back pack on your back?

Same applies to cars.

 

[Timmay]

tis all about the power to weight ratios

Yes, but that was the 2.3HOT Aero, not the 2.0 the op is talking about.
