Can someone please tell me the difference... 850 1995

FOR THE RECORD the T-5R makes 237 hp, not 240, and it will do this not for 10 seconds but for 30. Also it delivers max torque (221 fp) up to 5600 rpm versus the normal R's 5260 rpm. My source is my owner's manual, page 93. I'm almost certain I read that the 237 hp is produced only in lower gears and not top gear (auto trans - I don't know about manual trans). You're right about the alacantra suede trim which nicely complements my faboo black leather. Some people like the smell of napalm in the morning. Believe me, leather has it beat, big time. BTW at full throttle the a/c is disabled. Those thoughtful Swedes. About that 30 sec with 237 hp...at Second Number 30 you will be going real fast...
