...I did get my 00 9-5 Aero up to an indicated 142 mph before it was QUICKLY apparent that I was running out of road. So, accounting for error, that was what, ~135? Anyway, it was stilling pulling along quite well. I've heard the Aero will reach 150ish, maybe a hair more.
As I understand it, top-speed is primarily a function of horsepower and aerodynamics. The Aero actually has a higher Cd (.31) than the standard 9-5's (.29). I think the Viggen is probably a similar Cd so given enough room, my guess is that an unmodifed Viggen will also be in the 150's or so.
Now, if Nordic can get the same stage 3 mods for the Aero onto a Viggen and the resultant 300 hp or so, that will definitely make a difference.
Wish I had facts for you.
