One question-thought. I drove a FWD Volvo recently and the (lack of) traction when leaving stoplights on wet roads was irritating. The front wheels spun easily, I had to take off very gently to not look like a buffoon. Does Helga do that?

Ditto - R badge disappears as well as the other badges. For heaven's sake, how many times do you have to write VOLVO on something before you're just being really obvious?
Definately not a drag racer with the wheelspin, well, that and it's not exactly light. I was a little surprised when I nailed the throttle on an uphill freeway on ramp that was wet. As soon as I got boost, I also got LOTS of tire spin. Stayed dead straight but the amount of wheelspin was rather silly. Feels weird to have that sensation on a FWD car.
Transmission - I'm actually going to put a nice auxiliary transmission cooler on it and exchange all the fluid. There is a good spot to mount it left front lower, behind the opening in the bumper. Saw one with a B&M cooler mounted there, very slick. That's on my list of "need to do" things before adding any HP.
