Hmmm....
In a drag race, the Viggen looks bad because of the electronically limited 1st and 2nd gear and you lose all boost between gear shifts.
High-speed, it does pretty good. The top speed is 155 and the coefficient of drag is very low, so you can cruise at 100+ all day long if you like. The engine doesn't like hot weather, especially sitting in traffic and then trying to zip off. The intercooler and intake air heat up, the engine computer backs off the performance, and it kind of falls flat.
Also, if you drive it nice for days on end, you'll need to flog it a bit before getting back full power.
I've had mine for 4 years. I want all new upgraded suspension up front (struts, bushings), bigger brakes, 6-point subframe brace, steering rack clamp, motor mounts, upgraded shifter (stock is junk, ugh), cold air intake, bigger intercooler, more cooling fans. After all that, I'd get the stage 2 from G.S. and a new exhaust system. I already have the bigger rear sway bar, but can't tell much difference...
