Guess what? Those cars have a reputation for doing not well when matched to an automatic. You can bet your ass that in 1-2st gear they will continue to pull stonger and stronger as they rev close to peak power. Not a mistake.
If you think that a Saab pulls at its strongest at 1900rpm, you are crazy.

OMG.
The Saab can pull lousy for many reasons, inappropriat 1st and second gear. Poorly chosen rear-end...etc. But then your talking about the CAR and not the ENGINE.
Saintor, you keep adding and changing your argument. Torque = Acceleration and you keep saying it doesnt... then you keep talking about GEARING.
Gearing multiplies torque, thus I have already proven my point over-and-over. You havn't mentioned Horsepower at all, which coincidentally was what you saying is what made acceleration.
