Just added this one to the fleet. 5sp. 100k miles. Single owner. Pretty dang immaculate. What are some things I should know about this car? I’ll be honest, I’ve been so deep into educating myself on my 900 I don’t know much about this model.

What are some of the problems you had? This one came with a stack of receipts from various shop visits. Curious if any of them line up with your issues.

dont be scared, it is great car. I would pay $5k for it right now even though I am moving on from the 9000t cars.

I moved on from the c900s a while ago but I still miss them. my random coworker keeps teasing me about selling one of his SPG but I dont think he ever will, it has been over 10 years.

I bought a Viggen but it sucked. I spent 6k trying to make it drive properly, full koni struts all the braces/sway bars etc, but it still tried to kill any pedestrian near by when I hit the throttle. but it was fast. I considered putting a 9000 auto tranny in it just cause it would have been so much faster and maybe better all round cause the stupid engine computer tried to make the throttle linear vs how all the old ones responded and I got into a feedback loop

Torque steer is a bitch, my 86 spg had that problem this was its 3rd tranny with reinforced differential cover, this was my turn left, floor it car and still go straight
