can't view at work - is that the old video of it climbing pikes peak? I have/had that on VHS from SAAB somewhere. They sent copies of those to dealers when it was current events.

The thing looks like its AWD.....dirt spitting out from behind the rear tires, sweet drifts, etc.
EDIT: Burns.......Its the red Viggen with a mad triangle nose bodywork job on the front. Ugly as the day is long, but it hauls A.

It is AWD. Full Prodrive 6-speed with active programmable front, center, and rear diffs.
The turned the B204 into a longitudinal configuration for this car. I think it does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds or something like that.
He ran it the year before without all the aero stuff on the front/rear. The aero stuff really helped him drop his times though, so although it's ugly, it was functional.

If I recall the wings drastically helped getting traction however they didn't realize untill the race how much air it kept away from the brakes....
wasn't it at one of the SOC's?
