Tell him to go with a S60R 6sp MT, flash green on nordkap (the color combo adds like 50WHP)

Not even in the same class. I'd stay away from the Maserati though, especially for a daily driver. I LOVE the Porsche Cayman though... so hot. Tell him to buy that!

The same way I would compare Paz Vega to a crackhead. If you want something fast Volvo is the last car you should be looking at

i'd have to agree.
if you want to go fast, you want to die, if you want to die, don't buy a volvo

well, for the cost difference between an S60R and a Caymen and ESPECIALLY a Maserati, you could have it modded to be faster then both. However, laterally the Caymen will own the S60R and Maserati all day long... no mater what you do to either of them. Dosen't it pull like a 1.1 on the skidpad?

R&T says .96... but I distinctly remember reading a review where is posted over a 1. My search continues.

Mmmm, early MazdaSpeed6. A nicely modded 850 can take them from a roll.
Still, the new ones are nice. Rods are the weak link on those engines too, btw.

2006 S60 T5. Chip and exhaust and it'll have an S60R with the same mods beaten.
