Weellll... 850 95

...I do admit that in a straight line our V70 performs very agreeably with no discernable torque steer, but if I accelerate hard around a corner I have to hold on for dear life.

Chalk up another advantage for RWD...oh damn (slap myself) that was another thread...and I got jumped on by VolvoFan already in that regard!

Seriously, equal length driveshafts go a long way in eliminating torque steer, and Volvos are not too bad in this regard, but face it, 200+ hp is hard to manage for a pure front-driver.

Caveat: No, I have not driven the S60.
