Search the bb for previous results. From what I've seen, you probably won't see 100, at least in a stock Viggen, because that will require 4th gear. With a new ECU that takes away the torque limit in 1st and 2nd gears, you may get a quicker jump off the line and have time to go for 4th. Still, with FWD, there's a limit to how much torque you can put to the ground.
R/T tested the Viggen at 15.0 and 95.3. People on this board have done better after getting used to the car. 13.2@106 is going to require some mods.
I bet you'll enjoy driving the Viggen more than you did the Talon, but it will probably never be as fast on the drag strip. Anything's possible, of course...the Pikes Peak Viggen, modified by Saab, put out 800 hp at some ungodly RPM. That might just get you over 100 :)
