I've had my V8 wagon now for a little over 2 years, and I still love it. People still give me those weird looks like, "what the hell was he thinking putting an exhaust on a volvo and making it look all ghetto?". But people that know a V8 sound, are definately impressed.

I have an aftermarket radiator, all the a/c and iron heads and my car still oversteers. I do have alot of suspension upgrades though, but it handles very near as well as a 242Ti at the auto-x's. If it weren't for an open rear end, it would be alot quicker through the curvies.

Torque is great! Nothing like sitting at a light next to some guys in an accord laughing at your car, then watching their faces quickly turn green as you pull away laughing.
