Okay, have a tough question I have to ask myself. A Viggen popped up near me locally, that looks extremely clean (90,000 miles, perfect interior, great exterior with only minor splitter curb rash, no mechanical or electrical issues) and at what seems a solid price. It needs nothing, and I am planning on looking at it the end of this week.
I am trying to get opinions on both of these cars. My 9000 is heavily modified (TD04, 3" exhaust, intercooler, tune, full suspension and sways, tan aero interior), and I have put a lot of effort into restoring it. It still has a few issues (electrical), though, and is a salvage title. I am going to take a loss in going to the Viggen. I will have to start all over with the Viggen.
On the other hand, I do love Viggens. In essence, this is a head vs heart decision. Eventually, I would want to repaint it to LB (I lust hard after LB Viggens), but the condition is the most important thing. As well, modifications are much more abundant for the Viggen (so many more suspension options!). More, it seems like it would be better suited to my newfound track interests. Shorter wheelbase, better brakes, lighter weight, and more headroom (great for helmets on tall people such as myself).
So what are everyone's thoughts? Viggen, or stick with the 9k?
P.S. Included some pictures of my 9k (and the Viggen I am looking at), some of you may have seen it at SOC this year.
