Congrats on your "new" Viggen. I, too, am a recent Viggen buyer; bought a 2000 5-dr a month ago and am thrilled with it.
You may need to clarify what you mean by "getting nowhere" in 1st gear. Do you mean the car has no power in 1st, or that your jump off the line is wheel-spin limited? If it's a lack of power, the Viggen's torque is limited in 1st & 2nd but even so, there's well over 200 lb-ft available even in 1st if you mash the pedal. If it's wheelspin you're fighting, welcome to the world of sports cars. I've had same struggle w/my Viggen, my previous SHO, and even my 427 Corvette. I'd like to take off quickly and with authority, but WITHOUT a silly bunch of tire smoke & noise. It's a delicate balance that you'll master with familiarity.
