Re: Is there something wrong with C70s? C70 2000

Tom,

With S60 and C70 to really compare over time, how would you compare them? I looked under hood of S60 and liked the idea of top motor mount hanging of stock tower brace, and weight distribution is supposed to be better. I drove an S60 for only short ways. I did not get on any good roads to get good feel though ;-) I have 2000 HPT auto coupe. Sometimes I wonder about the S60, but for all the reasons you mentioned jeez I love driving my coupe.

I saw a pic on volvospy of C70 with SuperSprint exhaust, what an piece of art that awesome rear resonator and pipe are!

Heard S60 is faster, I read on a turbo artical new Volvo motors I think in S60 it will use a lighter internal motor components, some such.

How did the FEEL of acceleration differ? Different torque curve feel, turbo lag comparision, sensation of faster/slower...

Handling?

Other? Are both stick/auto?

Say your coupe became (okay, won't jinx with a real verb!)

would you go back and buy a coupe or S60?
