This is my 2000 Saab Viggen. It has been my daily driver for the past 2 and a half years and delivers 24 MPG in town and 30 MPG on the highway. I only wanted to go with bolt-on parts to keep it as reliable as possible. The car was originally designed to compete against the E36 M3. With its current modifications, it brought the performance up to the level of the E46 M3. I could not be happier with the car and would recommend a Viggen to anyone.

April 9th - Ok, scratch the Pearl White, it was going to be extremely expensive to do properly.  I decided to have the bumpers, front fenders, hood, and grey plastic painted black to look nice and fresh.  I'm going to remove the window tint so I can have better vision on the track.  I've taken the Sub and amp out, and I'm going to take the interior down to bare metal from the front seats back to the trunk.  The Catalitic converter is also coming out.  Still deciding if I'm going to paint these wheels or buy some new 17in BBS wheels.  The braces are still going in and the driving lights are still coming out.
