The St is a very underpowered car for its engines capabilities.
The volvo T5 is a brilliant engine that sees well over 200,000 miles without a spanner touching it.
Ideally the replacement for a coupe for someone after a similar engine without the hassle.
I myself have the T5 in my car and although heavier it will out drag a coupe on a straight line.I wish it didnt in a way but its a fantastic engine.
The 2.3 engine is the best as it can run higher boost.
Other than the rods being weak on the earlier engine its almost hassle free motoring.
But money aside i enjoy driving the coupe even in standard form,and it puts a smile on my face everytime whereas the T5 is a more mature car and much refined.
You have a T5 lump in your car!!?? Why is this the first i have heard of this!? Back to topic it will be very close but i think the coop will just edge it lets not forget he has to change gears one extra time just to get to 100. Nick
