This is Chris’s (soloIIscoob) bone stock 99 Saab Viggen. I was definitely impressed by the torque. 259 lb/ft peak and it has a very broad powerband. He said torque steer is pretty bad in the lower gears since it has an open diff, but on the highway I bet it cruises very nicely. ![http://www.innovativetuningdl.com/dyno/pulls/CYoungSaab1.9.06.gif](http://www.innovativetuningdl.com/dyno/pulls/CYoungSaab1.9.06.gif) Thumbs up for a very nice ride. 2.3L turbo. Comes stock with a FMIC. -Mike ---

He’s my buddy. Impressive TQ numbers for sure but isn’t the Saab trademark the low rpm torque? ---

Yea Matt I’d say low end torque is pretty typical of their turbo cars, same as VW. According to Chris it uses the same turbo that’s on a WRX. With 2.3L of displacement and 18 psi no wonder the torque comes on so strong and early. ---

i love viggens. very sweet cars. very original choice. two thumbs up in my opinion. and since my opinion matters so much, the tq steer is a bitch and i wish it didnt exist on this car. NEW DIF and mod that bitch! and the viggen blue is hot too. ---

hurray for saab tuning!!! i have the 2.0 turbo in my '95 900. i hear ya on the torque steer issue, but you get used to it. it’s a blast to take turns in second gear and exit smoking the inside front. i have actually managed a bit of spin in turns in third a few times too. I can’t wait to see the results of tuning this car. there is a lot of potential. It is funny, if you look into tuning second generation 900s/93s, there seems to be more out there for the 2.0t vs. the 2.3t. what are the plans?? oh BTW, this was my desktop for while a few months back ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v308/jetta8v/desktop.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v308/jetta8v/desktop.jpg) ---

Very impressive. My mom’s got a '95 9-5 Auto. Pretty sure that is the 2.0T motor, and that bitch has some move to it, especially for it’s size. The 9-5 is a pretty good sized car. A lot of nasty torque steer too though. ---
