16v model year differences

[optimus234@hotmail.com (Kevin S)]

I have hit 180km/h - 113mph in my 2.0l 16v and it has crappy pull from then 
on, would take forever for me to get to 130mph. I have hit 220km/h in my 
dads 850 turbo volvo, now that thing is powerful, took a friend for a drive 
in it and he is thinking of getting a volvo as his next vehicle.
