Just got back from driving a bunch of Volvo S40's at El Toro Marine Air station. The T5 6speed was quite surprising for a front wheel drive car, you did not notice the under steer until you really started to push it. You got to do a lap of a road course set up with cones and when you were done, you jumped back in line and did it again! Got to do about 15 laps in the time I was there. Sure is fun to beat up on someone else car. On & off rain made for some exiting moments

Sounds like a good time.

Were there any S60R's in sight?

Dan

For looking at only Last year we got to do the same with the 60R's. Now THAT was some real fun, 300hp, four wheel drive, active suspension, yada yada yada. My friend actually brought a 60R after the test day.

I was there too! The rain makes it much more fun. Lots of sliding around...

I am also impressed with the T5 6sp. It's not quite as quick as the CL-S 6sp, but handles much better imo. Impressive for a front driver.

Kickass 450W surround sound stereo too!

I test drove a S60 T5 before I bought the CLS, nice car, I enjoyed it, but 40k wasn't justifiable, but the S40 T5 may have been.

S60R....

I've always been a proponent of a full time race track; Irvine needs no more friggin parks I tell ya.

I missed the original thread so thanks for posting
I signed up for the DC event. I think the following week is the Mazda RevItUp thing so that's two weekends of messing with cool new cars

If they decide to make an S40R for around 30k..I am a player for it.
