Well the 16v power is nice compared to the n/a b230. But my 16v sounds really scary above 4k and I don't like to rev it much past that. Last time it shifted at 5500rpms the transission slipped real bad and I turned white with thought of a volvo tranny rebuild. I think that a volvo is kindof an 'exotic' car (that's what everyone at autozone says). I bought a wierd, somewhat unreliable, 'exotic' car. I'm thinking of selling it (see post a few pages above this one). I'm still afraid of the tbelt job even after my post a week or so ago about the tensioning thing. I still don't feel confident and I REALLY don't want to give someone $700 to do it.

BTW I saw that 16v turbo page, there are some beautiful engines there. One radically modified 16v made 700hp!

thanks - Nate
