My 2000's stock, so can't claim to know what the VRK would feel like. Here's my $2/100:
1- shifter is a bit vague; not as precise as my last non-Saab car, but not as vague as the C900 I owned back in its day.
2- These cars "learn" your driving style and fuel quality. It's possible the car's been pampered lately, or the fuel is marginal grade. My Viggen max's out just below the yellow/red transition, say 7/8 yellow. Never hits red now matter what I do. From earlier posts this seems normal.
3- is the VRK necessary? No. What felt like omigosh-I'm-gonna-jump-to-the-next-lane torque steer (tramming) initially, is now hardly noticeable to me. You just get used to it. That said, it seems a lot of folks love the VRK. The 2000 setup is not improved over the 1999; neither is 2002.
