If I remember correctly from the other thread, this one was a '99, which makes it the 225hp version. '00-'02 got some intake piping and ECU modifications that bumped them up to 230. Too little a difference to be noticeable, especially since many a Vig rolled out of the factory making lots more power than they were rated for.
But Viggens are much more formidable than their horsepower ratings suggest; they make about 260ft-lbs. of torque from 2500rpm and up... All you need to know is that if you're already traveling at highway speeds, not many cars out there can catch one

Despite what I said above about being formidable, they're not set up to be drag racers. Being FWD, open diff, and torque-limited in lower gears, these things don't have much capability off the line. It's about a 15 second car in stock trim. There are a couple Saabs out there pulling 12s and 13s at the drag strip, but they're all pushing north of 450hp to do it.
