My Volvo is for sale: http://volvospeed.co...5-850-for-sale/

Now this:

An opportunity came up to get this and I went for it, all my years of car research and dreamin' came down to this week.

Without further ado, photos:





















Goodbye car savings, hello GTI!

sometimes in life, you just have to settle ;)
Man, I would keep the 850 in a heartbeat if I had room for it. I'm gonna miss the hell out of it. No worries though, Volvo For Life. I'll keep you guys updated on my parents S60's. :P

I've always had a soft spot for GTi's and this is no exception. What are the specs on this thing? I've heard they're pretty fast

You were flabbergasted that you find another GTI?
I'm hoping that is sarcasm.

This one's a 6 speed manual, 200hp. Xenon headlamps that turn with the steering wheel :D

haaha, I'll definitely do a catback exhaust and some nice winter 17" wheels. Maybe TDR 1.2 or BBS Replica. Sticky autocross tires for sure after these all seasons vanish in a cloud of smoke. I'd like to keep it in stock class, I think I'll be very competitive. My goal is to take this car to Nationals in MidOhio in the next couple seasons.
