Very true. I would want the VRK, intake, chip and exhuast. VRK would be the first upgrade. I went and test drove a Viggen at the local Carmax. Steel grey (they listed as silver) Coupe with 9K miles on it. Boy was it zippier of the line than the aero, but the aero has more pull in 3rd and 4th. The aero handles much better. Also drove a 330i sedan for fun. The 330 was really fast out of the gate -- took me by surprise - I have been driving FWD turbos for too long. The clutch also lets out much later so my shifting wasn't the best.
Despite what I always thought about BMWs having better handling I think the aero has BMW beat. The 9-3SS is even better. I know what my aero can do and I was as uncomfortable pushing the 330 into the same turns. The aero was much better at 50 to 80 acceleration as well.
Its fun to try something different. The whole experience left me aloof. I love the smell of the Viggen leather, but boy is that car ever unrefined. Gotta love it a little bit.
