yes, but watch the test of the regular 9. the fq400 has a special DBB garret turbo.

my old homebuilt honda kept up with my viggen and my evo smoked my viggen on a 3rd gear roll. just sayin.

No, you're not trolling... , you're singling out the only car that's beating stock level EVO's in the post. The EVO's are mid 13 sec or worse depending on year/model or maybe they're pressing the wrong button on the dash? (could care less about the new ones). The HP numbers don't really matter other than bragging rights which you're ignoring to try and slant opinion in your favor; it's HP/weight ratio as well as a usable power band which I'm guessing your missing and making judgement calls on it, tsk tsk. 3300 RPM's to get boost is high in a heavier car for street purposes (not knocking the Saab's with big turbo's, but I'm trying to prove a point). It means it's basically an NA car until it boosts. I'm @ 3000 pounds roughly with me in it, and full T25 boost by 1800 RPM's until redline. Just because your Viggen is apparently slower than my SE, doesn't mean everyone is slower than you. And I'm not doing 3rd gear rolling runs with my BFBF because I have boost in street situations.

@Adam PM me bud.

Posting mainly to subscribe but where I live its all mountain roads so the best is when you stick on some guys tail and he cant shake you then you can just pull past in 3rd when the center line turns to dashes and see the look on his face. Sorry all you NA V6 V8 drivers, at altitude turbo is king

cool post, count me in

[Payne4life]

i raced a 85n rx7 with an 88 fi 13b motor with a header and 3in exhaust on a closed road (non public road) and we once we had traction off the line, he was only a car length ahead of me the rest of the way, till he missed 3rd and got 5th... i probably would of had him once in third tho cause then i would of finally had boost.

[losacker]

same night i got an rx-8, me in third him in second(revs out so far haha) we held till he shifted then i got him by a fender till i had to slow down hahah. on my way home i got an s2k with exhaust. i pulled him till he let out. this is all rolling 4 deep too(4people in my car) would have been worse kills if it was only me lol.

well...my buddy got a MKIV golf in which he dropped a VR6 properly mated with ecu done right etc...he is waiting for a 6spd tranny to drop in... anyhow on the way back from hamilton I lost him was kinda surprised that i did actually.. .And I know he was lol!!

Chevy Cav with giant spoiler @50 mph Beaten

Numerous Diesel trucks Beaten from dead stop and roll

Audi A4 with red bumper and ricer headlights @50 Beaten

Del Sol With a B20b and t3/t4 hybrid 60trim turbo lost....miserbly
(back when i just had I/c)

2010/11 Mustang GT from 45 lost. both times he took off right after the second honk and got a lengh or two ahead and stayed there.

Evo IX with a large turbo and running really rich kicked the crap outa me when we were playing leap frog.

Thats all i can remember. Hopefujlly more to come

If my calculations are correct, $52,000 in 1997 is nearly $75,000 today, AKA used Porsche GT3 or Nissan GTR money

If numbers don't really matter, then how does HP/weight ratio matter? What does the number 18psi on a T25 make a Saab have a useable power band? How is maximum powa at 1800rpm useful at all when the result is spinning the wheels?

A turbo car is not a NA car until it boosts. Boost is built to get out of vacuum, above atmospheric.
