I think you are reaching the limit on the frontwheel drive car. remember that they have to limit the torque in 1st and 2nd gear on the Viggen. I wonder if they did a 50-70mph or a 60-80mph test, there you should find dramatic improvements. How often do you do a 0-60 burnout anyway? Regards John Yuen "P.T.
