You've seen my Terzo - Here's a picture of my brother's motor.

You'd think it's just a normal Volvo - But it's actually a Volvo 850 R. Very quick motor indeed - keeps up with Subaru's no problem!

Pretty well as quick as a tank can be!

Nice as it is... I'd much rather have the Terzo!

Fast as it maybe I am sure it won't keep up around bends or in the wet. I drove one and would say it had a bit of a traction problem!

I thought you could only get these in white with red stripes down the side and blue flashing lights

Living in Sweden I've encountered quite a few of these, and I hate to admit it, but when you reach 100mph, they leave you far behind if you drive an original Impreza (not 22B, P1, STI or likes), but on a winding road they are lost, even though they handle pretty well.

Still, they deserve respect and with a couple of thou' put into it, it's mean! Especially since the engine tolerates quite a lot of abuse and 'adjustments'

rgrds,
Pär

The ones that are white with the red stripes down the side and blue flashing lights isn't as quick as this one! The Plods use the T5s and T5Rs but this one is a 850R - more BHP!
