RE: R's I'm going to ask an impertinent question and risk the Fury of the Faithful, but tell me what really is the difference between a T-5 and an Rrrrr. Is it +30 hp, cooler wheels and lower profile Michelin Sports? Nicer seats? Everyone seems to be having trouble keeping them up, or keeping them ...

R in last year had 261bhp supposedly. My 98 T5 wagon in Europe was a lot lighter and had a 250bhp engine and 5 speed stick. I loved that car at the time.

A while back, Donut Media featured a white volvo 240 build with a completely redone 2.9L i6 from a 960 with 6 of those ITBs. 320hp, 320tq
