Lost to a Viggen

The other night on the way home, I came up behind a beautiful Silver 9-3 Viggen in my 9-3SE. We were on the twisties but stuck behind somebody. The slow driver continued on while we hit the highway onramp. I noticed that he wanted to have some fun when he didn't slow down for the corner. Ok. We both have snowtires on so there weren't a ton of G's happening. I did notice less body roll than I usually see out of a 9-3 which was rather impressive.
Usually, coming out of this onramp onto the highway is where I can overtake Audis, BMWs, etc within reason of course.
The 9-3 in front of me hits it earlier than I and proceeds to slowly step away from me. Now I know how that guy I beat in the red A4 2.8 feels.
I had the MBC turned down as we were supposed to get a snowstorm that didn't happen. I MAY have been able to keep up in that case but only on a good day.
When I came up beside him I gave the friendly wave. Apparently, this is a fellow Saabneter from NH in his Viggen. (NHClimber) I was happy to hear that it was a Viggen that beat me. What a good looking car too.
