Can it have "performance looks"? That particular Viggen did dyno pretty high. As did at least one other in the states. Could qualify it as highest powered stock Saab engine to date? Perhaps ...

I'm not the best driver in the world, far from that, but even I proved it's possible to drive a 9-3 Maptun stage 5 (quite a bit more powefull than a Viggen) at WOT overhere in the lowlands. Torquesteer is not a problem, it is fun .Originally posted by Eric van Spelde:

Scratch the Trionic!! The DI/LH/APC 2.3's FEEL quicker IM(Very)HO, I don't think I'm being overtly biased in saying that, there are others who have said much the same here in the past. Of course I appreciate that the Trionic is far more upgradeable and ultimately has potential for more horses without having to resort to an MBC.Definitely any Trionic 9000 2.3T for sheer grunt.[/b]
I would have to agree for a standard car..my carlsson has a very aggressive power spool up but then kind of runs out of puff.Scratch the Trionic!!
