Cool. Make sure you experience the torque steer though. Take a slow curve and punch it in 2nd or 3rd and HANG ON to the wheel. I don't mind it since after 3 mos I'm used to it, but don't buy the car without experiencing the torque steer as some find it distasteful. I think the benefits of the car (Viggen or Aero) far outweigh the required attention of the driver when accelerating very hard. You'll love it!
