Ah, 0-60 in nine seconds. Tuneable though. Lotus developed suspension. Biggest drawback? FWD.
Interesting though and there's plenty about still for parts. Volvo can supply anything from dealers. I needed a new seat release catch for my 240 estate, it came from the manufacturer (not Volvo) somewhere in europe and took just 7 days at a cost of £20. Not bad.

I like these cars - kind of like a bank manager with a mohican.... Was the Turbo much quicker?

That is the turbo.......Volvo 240 turbos are quite good (no bias there then) and can easily acheive 200bhp with the right tuning. RWD as well ;D

I saw a great 760 turbo yesterday (and tripped over a loose paving slab because I was looking at the Volvo! ;D) It proved to the girl I was with that I am indeed a creep with no taste in motors! ;D ;D ;D

The 940 turbo is a beautiful car too. I've done a bit of back-road 'rallying'  in a friend's one a few times, and frightened myself with how quick it moves for such a heavy car. And it proves that Volvos can get airborne off jumps! ;D ;D ;D |

Superchips do an upgrade for the turbo version (same as in 440/460) which makes thing a little more interesting
