5 cyl power question S70

posted by  someone claiming to be Ron on  Tue Sep 3 15:02 CST 2002 [RELATED]

The non-turbulated 5 cyl engine isn't fast to me either and I normally drive a 745T that's modified (faster than most) but the turbo 5 cyl engines can be very fast if also modified (like a T5R or R version) and/or modded which would be what I'd seek out if buying a fast 850. The fact that most are auto trans wouldn't bother me either.
If you're already not impressed, don't buy a non-turbo 850 as you can't modify it either if you later decide that you want more power.
The non-turbo engine is a tad simpler and might be a bit cheaper and easier to maintain, maybe more durable too (like the non-turbo 4 cyls are compared to turbo 4s).
