NAC: RE: [s-cars] Volvo S60R as UrS4 replacement?

[Robert Myers]

Amen to that, Bjorn!  My 10 year old 210K+ mile Miss Piggy, with the 
expenditure of a couple thousand bucks to do the RS2 mods, is now one of 
the hottest performing cars around (in this region, anyway).  Big brakes 
are still in her future as is, most likely, new paint.  I'm sure there must 
be cars around capable of kicking Miss Piggy's butt but it hasn't happened 
since the RS2 goodies went in.

Let's see...  The math - say $3K +/-  for RS2 goodies to get sub 5 second 
0-60 times for Miss Piggy vs. $30+K  to get perhaps similar performance 
from a tin can.  Classic good looks.  Almost total stealth.  Good 
handling.  Almost unstoppable in snow.  Let's see.  Which do I 
choose?  Such a difficult decision.  Not hardly.  ;-)
