S2000 vs. 9-5
A friend has one of the newer 9-5s which he claims has the same engine as the car Jeremy Clarkson drove in Top Gear. Clarkson said something to the effect that from 40-70 mph, the SAAB would overtake passing most cars including the 911. I'm thinking the 911 at its top gear maybe, but not in it's best gear. What do you guys think?
He also wants to run me from 40-70 mph in the stock S2000 whenever we have a chance. Who would win? I'm guessing he should take me since he does have more power and I think those SAABs have a temporary overboost, no?
