Just picked up this baby last night. This car is replacing my 89 Porsche 944 S2 and 88 Volvo 245DL. Did my first fix tonight and replaced all the bulbs inside the radio ( 2 were out) - Darn that was a pain in the jerk.
Some details
98 S70 T5M
-94k miles
-All records, including 70k and 90k service
-Bone stock

I really like the car, but it seems slow to drop revs when I shift. If I shift at the speed that i'm usually used to, the car jerks forward and I look like a dork. Don't think I have any vacuum leaks, because the CEL isn't on.
I plan to get an Upsolute chip from Rocketeer and IPD sway bars somewhere around Thanksgiving, and Koni Adjustable + TME or EST spring later on. It'll need a new clutch pretty soon, so I want to find out where to get a lighter flywheel.
Other than that, I love this car. Much better daily driver than my Porsche, and almost as fun.

You didn't buy that from a Denis in the valley did you? Looks alot like his (and I know he was trying to sell it a while ago).
Congrats! These motors do wind down a bit slow, EricF says the mototronic manual also limits how fast they will wind down.
