If you know that RR track in Manheim, when moving Snobs for the auction I would swear the my teeth would still be chattering when I got to the main lot from hitting that thing in a conv.  I definately like the color of it too! Every Viggen I remember seeing was that look at me electric blue color. Now you'll be able to eat some Stangs from redlights and confuse 'em too! Just start a good upper body strength workout for that torque steer!  |
The Viggens have an extra brace to help with the cowl shake, but it's still there. They make a product called the VRK, or "Viggen Rescue Kit." It's a series of braces to help with cowl shake as well as the torque steer.
I originally wanted to find one in Lightning Blue. I also wanted a coupe. Not a convertible. This one came up though at an amazing price. I also went to the Saab dealer in Denver and got all of the service records for the car. It was very well serviced. The previous owner had a new convertible top installed recently, as well as some AC work and a new clutch. It drives great. I'm very happy with it.
Mike
