Team Repost! Good vid though.

I think the red 740 was rolled then fixed, then sold for some JDM goodness. I don't know about the 242 though.

All other 240's quake in fear at the '81-'82 242GLT, they go weak at the knees & collapse due to an uncontrollable adulation that's near idolatry.

lol, it COULD be, but as we all know, all swedes are robotic clones of each other and have the talent of Samuel Hubinet (sp?)

I've gotten both cars into low-traction situations, and found the same thing the video showed, the weight distro in the 240's as well as their inherent handling and such is MUCH better than the 7/9 series. Although the 7/9 series are wayyy more comfy.

the 900 looks like it has an open diff and the 200 looks to have a locker/lsd/welded..

but you know... other than that?
