As an 11 yr veteran to the Volvo Car brand, all I can say is that the 4.4 V8 is an awesome and bullet proof motor. After seeing 6 sold units back here with over 100K miles already, and we have done no major engine repairs, just routine maintainance. This V8 engine option is a contender to my next car I may get here through work. We saw it first in 2005 in the XC90. Now its available in the S80, debut 2007 with AWD. And just to let you all know, although Volvo "helped" in the design of this 4.4 V8...its a Yamaha engine 
So twin-turbo'n that thing is going to be insane. Especially if the naturally aspirated version is as good as it is 
Can't go wrong with the Japanese

anyone know where i can get the red diamond inlays for the enkei rims (evo 8)? i think i'd rather buy those than paint the red diamond. paul has these on his stock evo 9 enkeis (im pretty sure his arent painted).
i went and got the spring retainers for the center caps today from mitsu. only 7 bucks total for all 4 with the evom discount!!! thanks again tim for the center caps!
im still undecided on the tires. im leaning towards blizzaks. tirerack wants 762 shipped with road hazard but this doesnt count mounting/balancing. townfair said i could get all 4, mounted and balanced with road hazard for 840/850.
