I love my V40 T4, you can't beat a fast volvo. The V40 T4 is just as fast as a T5R and a lot nimbler on the bends, it unbelievably has the same chassis as an evo 7!
Mitsubishi Carisma platform surely? I know some Evo 7 bits fit it, but I'm not sure that it has the same chassis. The Evo was sold as the Carisma Evo in some parts of Europe but its not the same as the Carisma we know and "love" 
Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.Just catching up on a things been away for nearly a month, Saw this and thought you cheeky Gits! lol
I love my Tuned 850 T5 R, and yes that advert was a bit sad! sorry to say!
Steadman wil tell you my car is seriously quick its running 330 bph and that was with a blown to bits rotary and old leads and a hole in the diaphragm of the actuator as well, so it should be good for another 20? I have been going through and learning the right and wrong way to tune a Volvo for a lot of years now!
Of the line its not so quick but once moving it holds its own against some large V8 cars such as M5's, ISF's and on twisty Broads due to the fact I have a Diff I see a high powered RWD cars back off in the twisty bits!
I will just say that power figures are a load of pants and advertising for who ever to say I can do this, but at the end of the day its how it drives in the real world that counts!
By the way you could buy that SOTW and stick and R bumper and spoiler on it change wheels and you could be well away and no one would know?
