Covering the same distance the S60R made waaay back in the early 2000s but at a quicker pace - got it.

The 300 HP Volvo S60R did 0-60 in about 5.6 seconds when it was first launched in 2004 to 2007.

Yeah and it also cost a lot more and weighed a lot more.

pretty much. I'm hoping 6th is tall enough to actually work as an overdrive gear.

If you want safety and some quirky Swedish "traits", then I guess....

Granted, I drove a few and most of them were a bit interesting.

yep , but the part that I'm happy about is that said Volvo cost $37,510 in 2003 ($47,513 in 2013 dollars) and this WRX should hopefully ring in around 27-28k.

Then again, you have to ask yourself if you want a used R as well, ehehehehehe

300 Horses sound like a nice bunch.
