Depends if he had a turbo or not. The non-turbos are pretty slow, especially with automatic transmission. They are heavy cars.

I have an '86 900 S notchback (only imported to US in '85-'86) that I turbocharged. It ran 15.30 @94 mph at MIR about 10 years ago. Could have been in the 14s that night except it was 30 degrees out and the skinny tires I had on it (on black steelies) were like ice blocks. It spun all the way through first and halfway through second...

Several parallels with the Fox Mustangs...both made '79-'93, both got "aero" body changes in '87, both got airbag in '90...
