Grecian Volvo - To my knowledge Canada does not have the same lemon laws as the US. From reading the Audi boards (I'm guy telling Iceman to get IPD) I get the impression that in the US the dealer must prove the mod caused the failure (same as what you said). In Canada I think the same generally holds true, but I don't think we have the same legal recourse (if the dealer wants to hassle you) since we're not as litigious in Canada.<P>As far as an AUTOMATIC WRX goes, they're not really that fast. My 1.8T w/ECU upgrade and air filter but no exhaust can dust an AUTO WRX. The key is that the AUTO is nowhere as fast as the manual version. I test drove one with a friend who owns a big block Corvette and we both thought it was surprisingly sluggish off the line, the turbo boost doesn't really kick in until 3,000 to 3,500 rpm's. My engine hits peak torque at 1.850 rpm's.<P>As for power to weight ratio here are some numbers<P>WRX - 227 hp, 217 ft. lbs weight 1,424 kg for the sedan and 1,461 for the wagon (for lbs multiply by 2.2)<P>S60 AWD IPD power figures - 230 hp, 275 ft. lbs and weight of 1,440 kg. So lighter than the wagon (which we drove) and only 16 KG more than the sedan, plus look at that huge increase in torque, not sure where the Volvo peak torque is but I would think yes and S60 with IPD would beat a WRX<P>My car chipped is 196 hp and 236 ft. lbs and weighs 1,458 kg, however I do have a 5 speed. My friend and I both thought my car was significantly faster than the AUTO WRX, now the manual is a completely different story.<P>
