Mid 80s Saabs are built like tanks and weigh approximately as much as one. They're not really all that quick but they're nice cars and girls seem to like them. Even with TBI you probably will win.

Race it you'll beat him
Race to a decent speed though, that damn turbo will be the end of you if you let it keep going.
Just a warning..don't let him get to the point where he starts pulling....he'll say he was "catching you"....and take away some of the victory
