Does this count as a sleeper?
I bought this last week, it's a Saab 9-3 (obviously) but has the 2.8 V6 turbo and four wheel drive. Bit of an odd spec as it's not a Turbo X but is 99% the same but from the outside there is no mention of the engine or drivetrain just Aero on the bootlid. Wheels and grills were a styling pack but again an option.
Not mega power with 280bhp but I think it's very subtle and 295lbs-ft gives it bit of punch like diesel but with more revs.
A basic remap would see 320bhp and nearer 350lbs-ft.
I would say the 'not mega power' bit is the issue here. Looking at that car... I would not be at all surprised to hear it had around 280hp from the factory.

You wouldn't and I wouldn't. Wpukd the average person be a bit surprised? Maybe. I'm pretty sure most people think Saabs are just slow slow old oddities Hahaha Alex_225 said:

Skoda estate looks fast, would expect it to be fast.
600bhp fast?Not the fastest thing in the world but I'd say most would be surprised when this thing sets off from the lights
