Just a post to tell all you future Viggen owners about an add I saw in the Atlanta paper. Streak the Track with blue lightning Saab Cars Inc. Has a special bonus for buyers of the limited edition 1999 Saab 9-3 Viggen Coupe. Included in the $37,750 base price are two days of "Viggen Flight Academy" training with the professional race car drivers of Panoz Motorsports at Road Atlanta. A spokesperson for Saab Cars, the Norcross-based arm of the Swedish carmaker, put the value of the training at $1,500 to $2,000. The behind-the-wheel and classroom training will teach Viggen buyers techniques for driving a front wheel-drive performance car. Saab plans to import only 400 of the Viggens, a high performance version of the 9-3, into the United States this year. All will be "Lightning blue," a color unique to Viggen. The cars go on sale in May. The Viggen, named after Saab Aircrafts Viggen jet fighter, will be available in Atlanta at Kelley Saab. Customers elsewhere will have to pay their own way to road Atlanta.
