That's debatable. I think the lack of boost below 3500RPM really hurts the WRX when combined with a 2.0 liter. Turbo lag on the Viggen is quite unnoticeable. The WRX would likely win off the line thanks to AWD, but at speed I think the Viggen would dominate in an big way.
I would be willing to test it out if someone wants to come over with their (unmodded) rex.
Saab rates the 2002 9-3 Viggen at 230HP. Mine pulls 222HP at the wheels.
