Ford Positive


if a new Viggen didn't have all of the glaring flaws the old one did, it would do well. Why do you say the Turbo X gets its "teeth bashed in" by Audi and BMW, exactly?

They could make a good Viggen by putting some of the Hirsch parts on an Aero XWD. Hirsch's power kit seems nice - an ECU remap, exhaust and larger intercooler for a round 300bhp. The main limiting factor for the 2.8 V6 is the tiny turbocharger they use on it - it's pretty much tapped out at stock boost levels. If they installed a real turbo on the 2.8 V6 and dropped the compression ratio a few points they would be on to something.

and it would need XWD with the eLSD in the back, of course.
