spelled correctly h:

and yes, it is very nice... its got fabulous seats and interior, it handles pretty damn good considering the shit tires on it, and its quick.

A guy at the last saab nerd-fest/dyno day a few weeks ago dynoed a bone-stock viggen at something like 260whp/300wtq (i forget the exact numbers) at +1 mile elevation

i'm not sure... they rate them low because apparently they're pretty inconsistent from car to car.

:edit: rated at 230 apparently
