Just read a great article on Ashoks 400+ bhp T4 in Practical Performance Car magazine. It's a great read and a good advert for Volvo tuning in general. Sell your T5's boys, T4's are the dogs danglies Mwahahaha

I've never driven a 'non ford' T5 so I wouldn't know how they handle.
What I do know is when you modify the P.2 ford platform with all the suspension mods it properly handles (I mean.. insanity level cornering).... enough to make your face look like this after a good bit of the windy schizzles.
It also makes the faces of those you follow in cars that supposedly handle great look like this:
Have to say (no offence intended lance) that the stock settings on mine (with sports suspension) were distinctly on the flobberly dobberly side till I got it modded and although stable fairly inert and didn't inspire confidence (I was running P6000's at that time mind.)
PS I'm completely drink and drugs free in case you were wondering.

I've owned an driven 850s standard and modified phase 1 and 2 7o series plus driven loads of s60s and driven old s40s and even as standard mine feels far better yes it could be better but its a road car that occasionally get used as a builders van and does a fair few speed humps. Not got 400 bhp but nearly 2/3 will do
