Interesting. Second gear runs out at 59mph and 3rd (4th??) runs tops out at 100mph.
I had a similar problem with the talon.
Solution equals producing enough power that you must shift inot the next gear before you get through the traps. I agree that the FWD and high torque engine are not well suited when coupled with the suspension geometry that likes to take a hike into another playing field when physics are applied.
Other cars have over come the FWD barriers and I would like to see the Viggen be not only a highway roll-on monster but also a car capable of getting a good hole shot. Is 2.0 60fts out of the question on street tires?
I dont think so.
Thanks for the replys,
Evan
