Hey Scotty,
Funnily enough my name is Scotty too! Anywho, I have a 2004 Volvo S60 2.5T (5 speed Automatic) and I was wondering if I should spend money on upgrading my car, or buy a new car instead. If I keep the old car (Venessa) I'll do a rebuild on the engine and I'll get performance conrods so I can tune some more power out of her, and I'll do a turbo rebuild to bring back some efficiency and extend her life. If I get a new car (Newer), I'm planning on getting a 2007-2011 S60R with a standard transmission. Although Volvo is now Sweedish once again and not Chinese, I am still reluctant on buying a brand new car. What do you guys think? If you have any suggestions (such as upgrade parts or common problems on either car) please let me know!
Edit: Spelling Error
I'm no Scotty Kilmer however, If you are looking for performance at a cheap price I personally would go for an upgrade to a 3rd gen Camaro or Firebird. The stock 305 v8's are a ton of fun even stock but I would suggest getting upgrades though such as a cold air intake and exhaust system (headers back) because not only does it make it look and sound cool but that extra performance, though it may not be a lot, does make a noticeable difference.

Although I do like the idea of getting an american muscle car, for some reason I have a really big knack for i5 and V10 cars. There is just something about the sound and the uniqueness that gets me every time!
