I am shopping around for a newwer vehicle! Ive owned alot of older models
several 80s 240 turbos! AN 89 and current 91-740Turbo.
Recently test driving lots of v70s a few 850s a couple of 40s and 60s. I feel the non turbos seem to be a little sluggish! Am I correct on this note? Can you modify a non turbo and get a little Zip in the drive?
I have also come across a couple of V70R that seem to have some nice pick up
still have to test dive the 2nd one. 1st one needed allot of TLC.??
And are all the XC cross countrys a bit sluggish too, being used to a run of turbos will I be dissapointed not having my turbo after a life of ZIPPING along
thanks for any input?
