I myself wil probably be looking to buy either one of those models within the next 6-8 momnths. For the most part I really like the Volvo much better I think, even though I have never driven either car. At the moment I drive an 88 9K Turbo with the Air Folw kit but next spring I hope to be getting a Volvo. I think that the 850R or 850 T-5 would be sweet. Can you picture this,, a Silver Volvo 850R Wagon dropped about 1 1/2 inches. Wearing silver rims (18's with 215/45ZR-18 pirelli P-Zeros) or close to that. Then have all the windows tinted pretty dark so no one can see inside. Topped off with all the go fast parts from IPD and a killer 3-4 thousand dollar stereo system. That would look sweet and be really fast. From what I understand from talking with IPD, those Volvo's can do close to 160 right off the dealer showroom floor. Can anyone verify if that true or not? Sounds good to me. What you think?
