Back in 97 Car and Driver had the same question when they found that the 0-60 times of a 850 turbo where essentialy identical to the 850R. Maybe the diff is found in the 70-140 times. If you really want out of the slot times, 0-40 you may find that a 97GLT with the low presure turbo gives you more tire spinning performance. With the GLT you hit your max torque about 1000 RPM sooner than a full turbo. Try one and let me know what you think.
