Christ, I bet that thing can shift. Some mixed opinions over on MLR though, they're worse than this place when it comes to giving their opinions!

Yeah they dont mind speaking there mind!

Problem is some cant see past there Evo's and something 2wd couldnt possibly be faster round a track than 4wd

I bet it could shift... Shame about the colour though. Spending all the money on that, I would have atlest changed the colour

I would love a go in that

only slight issue - the dashboard , im not fan of the electric race type thing he has there. Looks out of place.

<3 T5-Rs... but not in that colour

AngryDave · 5 May 2008 at 13:15

Thats a rediculously good volvo. Wish my 440 was as good as that lol!.

I was expecting the estate version

ethos · 5 May 2008 at 13:40

Awesome, would prefer a more sleeperish colour though.

jon.bda · 5 May 2008 at 18:10

Would love an estate of that spec, in that colour but with black wheels. Oh, and the noise must be fantastic...

What's the engine in the T5-R iirc is a similar block to the one in my ST (2.5 5 CYL)?

ZG002 · 5 May 2008 at 18:51

Kind of. The 850 T5's have a 2.3 ltr 5 CYL lump.. i cant remember what date that upgraded to the 2.5ltr

Beast, my parents used to have an old 850 and loved the thing. Always brings back fond memories of proper touring cars
