Had the Viggen out on the track AT SOC07 in Michigan.
You can hear the rear brakes later in the video. Seems the factory pads were not really happy. They were starting to glaze on the way up there. I did not have time to switch the rears to the Hawk blacks. After many years of karting and SCCA autocross including class championships this was the first time on a road course.
This was also the first time having the Viggen on regular street tires. 225 Kumho MX It would get front ABS much faster than with the Pzero corsa slicks. It was a bit difficult to adapt too. Power was around 365hp on Gas 91 with the flex fuel soft. Could not find E85 on the highway there. Found a station on the way out of town though. Just the luck. Not that I needed any more power. You can hear it spin all the time.
Thanks ED and GM.. Was a blast. Now we need about 4 other people down here and go rent a local track for the day.

That was a blast indeed.
Have you noticed how much were you moving your hands around the steering wheel? Keep them glued to 9 and 3! ;]
How were the 400lb coilovers on the track? Is Ed running them in his vig or was it just you?
It was great. I would like to get some rear springs sorted too. Maybe this winter. Ed is on Abbot springs.
