Does anyone happen to have a link to an old magazine article (road & track, car & driver, etc.) that featured an 850 R in a 0 - 100 - 0 competition? I remember it (and it's what got me interested in my T5) and remember that it was the only sedan included in the competition. It lost severely, but it was up against a viper, corvetter, etc. But it was still pretty cool that it was the ONLY sedan in the lineup.

If anyone's got it, or can find it, that'd be awesome to share.

John,

Yeah, I remember that article as well. I believe the R posted the slowest 0-100-0 time of all the cars the magazine listed--but then again, like you said, it was up against the top performance cars in the world. (there was of course the year the T-5R wagon posted to best top-gear acceleration time of any car). I can't say for sure if I have that magazine at home or not (though I know at some point I did have it). I'll take a look for it this weekend and I'll let you know if I do happen upon it.
