I wonder if they know that someone on this forum (Chronohunter; Paul Gerrard) is a driver/engineer for the S60R Volvo in Speed World Challenge - ask him what he thinks

I hate how everyone on this forum always says "they can't even be compared" about EVERY car we ever try to compare and Evo to. They are very comparable, and the only thing closer is an STI. You guys need to realize that anybody CAN and WILL compare ANY 2 cars, even a Fiat and an Evo. I mean shoot, i can go onto Autotrader and check a box and have it automatically do it for me.

Both cars are AWD, they have very similar power, they are both 4 door saloons, they are both turbo small displacement motors. They have a ton in commen, yes still a lot not in commen, but more so in commen then any other car.

Yeah, I get that a lot. Some guy at work with a GTO said all he would have to do is add a few bolt-ons and I wouldn't stand a chance because my car is already maxed out. I just laughed and agreed with him.

I like how they think you have to be 30+ on those forums to be "cool."

It was a dumb comparisson in my opinion anyway. Luxury cars are for geriatrics and cripples.

Need to register to view.Volvo is more closer to STI than EVO.Comparing EVO and S60R is like comaring Red and Green apple,both of them is good taste but in diffreent way.

S60R = grossly overrated, imo.

BTW, there are a more than a few of us in here with "snow on the roof" and a "fire in the stove." I'm sure people wonder when they eye the driver of this old guy's MR - probably think it belongs to my son, lol!
