Trading it is the only thing that comes to mind...but I guess that's not what you're looking for since you just bought it, huh?

It's a beater, it ain't supposed to be fast, right?

I'm sure there are ways to get horsepower out of those things. I've seen some Volvo rallycars out here in Cali. Also check the company IPD. I think they have stuff for Volvos.
Other ideas are to have a transplant of engines. 850 Turbo R?
