as a matter of fact.

Eric is right in some respects. The suspension is quite lacking in stock form, however I have put on the Viggen Rescue Pack along with Abbott's lowering springs and SAS rear swaybar, and the handling is just short of phenomenal. It REALLY sticks to the road with Yoko A520's (noisy as hell, but they do stick, I probably move to Pilots or back to my tried and true Pirelli's) with sporting a firm but not overly harsh ride.

It is a shame, quite frankly, that Saab couldn't have figured out and solved these suspension fixes themselves. The NG900/9-3 styling has certainly grown on me over the years. I still love the classic lines of the original 900, but I feel they did a pretty good interpretation of updating and modernizing the style. If they only could have done the VRK themselves, they wouldn't have suffered the criticisms from the press from its handling woes.

The NG can be made into a great car. I have on occasion drag raced it (crappy RT's sad to say...)as well as autocross. I love mine and will likely keep it for a long time to come.
