[s-cars] 850R

[Paul Krasusky]

I've driven a bunch of Ts and Rs (didn't you see all the BTCC pics in my
garage, heh heh), torque steer isn't as bad as you'd suspect, equal length
driveshafts take up most of it.  Mostly affected when on the loud pedal
exiting a corner, but otherwise I've driven far worse torque-steerers (bro's
old NOS A1 Scirocco 8-) ).

Sans Quaife, power's not useless but not efficient either, voracious wheel
spin.  Hopped up ones are tremendously fast, gobble up pavement nicely, up
and through 150 easy and quickly.  Fun cars, too bad I hate FWD so much
(read: refuse to own), and their AWD is sans stick.

Don't mess with 850 turbo wagons- some of them can
be really fast.

T5-Rs can be made to output 310hp easily. Although
that'll probably make it a torque-steering handful,
it would be really fast in a straight line, esp.
with a Quaife.
