Not so fast 850 1995

On paper, the C70 should be the fastest, but in practice the S70T5M is wee bit faster because of lighter weight. And the T5 in a 70 is faster than the T6 in an 80 - for the same reason: weight. (That, and the S80's turbos are LPT.)

Instead of fooling around with another odd FWD sport concept like the supposed C50, I wish Volvo would replace the C70 with a Z100R or something: a small, sporty RWD Volvo roadster powered by a T4 or T5.
