Well, here is my car finally. It is a 1999 Saab 9-3 Viggen. Only made a little less than 400 of these in 99. There were more made, but not in lighting blue. The car came with a 2.3 turbo and 5spd transmission. They were underrated from the factory at 225 hp and 240 lb ft. I stock dynod at 235 hp and 274 lb ft. Its a BLAST to drive, and i love being asked what it is constantly.

The wheels shown are the old ugly ass chrome ones the previous owner chose. They were expensive ass hell, and not worth a single penny. ICk, im glad they are gone.

Thoughts: jealousy, envy
Opinions: nearly the snappiest blue I've ever seen.

Always loved Viggens, and yours is a nice one!

ask whoever drives the red E36 M3 that I raced on 74 about it not pulling worth a darn.......i didn't see any PKG stickers, but im hoping he was a member......he can attest to how well it pulls, as well as how nice my rear swaybar looks! ;)

Speakin truth! I think we are gonna have to bring back the old nick name you told us about..... Gayson. :D Oh and there might have been a little sarcasm there with the whole pulling thing but just a little though.

I remember a black viggen being at the tint & tat GTG a while back and possibly the rally too, I think it was TJ's friends car IIRC, but I could be wrong. I remember how hard it pulled on the interstate. :tu:

I also had a chance to sit in it while it was getting tinted, and I fell in love with the interior.

Their is a Viggen here in Iowa City that is the same color as yours, I used to park next to him in the parking garage all the time. What a sexy car, CONGRATS!

Most likely Kook's old ride. He had a Viggen. :tu:
