Mine has 250,000 miles and I can't believe how 'brand new' the engine sounds at idle...For my work, I drive a lot of Modern Cars and everytime I drive something like GM/Vauxhall, even with low mileage, the drivetrain always sounds BAD, like something is going to break. I personally think Volvo engines from that era are some of THE longest lasting you can buy in any car, easily on par with Honda/Toyota

@@bartp7969 ill explain torque steer, open differentials will always spin the wheel with least grip, so when you floor it only one of the 2 wheels will break traction. Torque steer happens on front wheel drive cars with open differentials where one of the wheels will start spinning faster than the other wheel, causing the car to steer on its own, and when you try to correct it with steering, it usually just starts spinning the other wheel when the weight shifts to the other side, and the same thing happens again. You can see torque steer happening in the video where he floors it in a low gear and the car goes side to side. You cant really get rid of it fully unless you weld/lock the diff completely which absolutely RUINS all drivability and is rarely done on fwd.

I saw this in many movies but this one just got different level of power! Great drive! 🛣

Yup. This story checks out.

Turbolag kids know: Rolling start at 2nd gear by pushing full throttle whilst the left foot decently stands on the brake pedal to keep the rev up at optimum boost rpm and then simply release the brakes. Voila - off you fly :D

Good memories! I had 2 Volvo S70's, both 1998. One was a GLT 2.4L Turbo (Low pressure Turbo) and the other was S70 T5 SE (2.3L Turbo, High Pressure, like this "R") Both cars were auto slush boxes, but I can say that I pulled some good moves in my Volvo's. I sure miss the simplicity of the 1990's. As well as the iconic sound of the 5 Cylinder engine! Always good to hear that this puts a smile on Max's face!

It was a real marvel. However. Volvo never. Put it to mass production. A real shame...
