I keep seeing people buy Viggens with real low mileage, well who has real high miles on their Viggen??
Mine 00 silver 5 door just about 79k miles.

MY00 has 120k Km, 42k km when I bought it.saabs&dubs said:I keep seeing people buy Viggens with real low mileage, well who has real high miles on their Viggen??

Wow, creepy: Fast Ed's Fast Ride: 00 Silver 5 door ~79k miles..saabs&dubs said:I keep seeing people buy Viggens with real low mileage, well who has real high miles on their Viggen??

Nah I will hang on to mine...less historyFast_Ed said:Wow, creepy: Fast Ed's Fast Ride: 00 Silver 5 door ~79k miles..
Trade you straight up!!:lol:
Can't blame you there, but worth a try :cheesy: I never believed that "LUCK" really existed.. till I bought this car :roll:saabs&dubs said:Nah I will hang on to mine...less history
Do you travel down to the Gansett Wakefield area at all??
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Slowpc said:Up to 92k on my 99 L. Blue viggen... .
Wow, this seems *almost* physically impossible, unless you are not counting stops... Since the SID doesnt record tenths or hundredths of a MPH, I would assume this is a calculation you made?BoulderViggen said:84,899 miles...just drove from Boulder, CO to Cambridge, MA (2000 miles)...with an average speed of 102.46 mph....the car was so comfortable.

Never maxxed the car out on this trip....I had my mountain bike on the roof, but I did run the car up over 140 a few times for 15min + when traffic was non-existant....(I may be crazy...but I don't want to be passing cars doing more then 15mph faster then them....)
I read a magazine article where they had a GPS unit that could measure stuff like acceleration, deceleration, speed, and cornering acceleration. What I meant by 'measure cornering G's' was, " Can the GPS unit you have measure the amount of cornering traction your car can create."BoulderViggen said:Does that GPS dealy measure cornering G's? - what do you mean by that?
I hope to god you are wrong and the cornering G's were not .78. That is what a Minivan does. For the Vig I would expect .87-.93. I bought a copy of that article on ebay just yesterday lol.Fast_Ed said:I read a magazine article where they had a GPS unit that could measure stuff like acceleration, deceleration, speed, and cornering acceleration.

I beleive that the Viggen article (in a Road and Track article IIRC) quoted the Viggen as being able to corner at 0.78 G's (G = a measurement of force equal to that of gravity.)
If I had a meter like that, I could've measured cornering G's in some of my favorite corners pre and post 22mm rear ARB install, etc.
Apologies for the threadjacking, now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
Ah, perhaps it was a slight case of time induced dyslexia... It may have been .87 G's.. But I dont think so...Ribz80 said:I hope to god you are wrong and the cornering G's were not .78.
