Good point on the brakes, more

Viggen brakes do grab better. I had forgotten to mention that. However, the SE's brakes are also very reassuring. The differences, according to Road & Track:
Braking from 60mph
'99 9-3: 126ft
'99 Viggen: 125
'99 9-5 SE: 139
'00 9-5 Aero: 120
These are very good numbers.
Braking from 80mph
'99 9-3: 234ft
'99 Viggen: 224
'99 9-5 SE: 249
'00 9-5 Aero: 215
These are slightly less impressive numbers, but still good.
Keep in mind that differences in track conditions for the respective tests could easily give error margins within the bounds of the differential here.
I think JS has it about right. Viggen is cool, but not cool enough to warrant $10k of my money.
