Viggen Autocross Tips? help

Just started autocrossing 2000 Viggen in the San Francisco Region of SCCA. Running purely stock in GS-N. After 3 runs, I am improving, but still not utilizing the car to it's potential. I am the only SAAB in any category - and doing a poor job of representing (finishing near last and about 5 secs behind the Integra GS-Rs and even a Taurus SHO. The car definitely has been challenging to corner with - doesn't seem to hold a line through the tight turns well. After the Flight Academy, I was all pumped up to really drive this car - but autocrossing has been very humbling. At the moment, trying to focus on braking early - to cut down on understeer through the turns, and smoothing out my acceleration - I still get lots of wheelspin on the course.
Looking for ideas, tips, anything....
P.S. any Viggen's in the San Fran. region? come on out!
