I guess I should have said ABOUT the same power. It is 20 less hp, but its 20 more lbs of torque, so it is pretty close.
 
And, like you said, without the drag and weight of AWD .... but then you have a lack of traction problem with putting that much through the front wheels.

T5 is a 2.4L in the S60.
 
I've gotta say you hit the nail on the head with your suspension comment. The S60 (let alone the S40 T5) doesn't have anything close to the suspension that's in the R. So on top of all the other differences in the engine, tranny, etc, you'd still have all that power and not the suspension to properly enjoy it.

You're right ... on the '05 and up. Up till '04, it was a 2.3. I never realized they bumped it up in size.
