Honestly never met another car that can keep up (other than a mate who has a race prepped 850, pushing 400+bhp).
I had a supra turbo once, great but very expensive. I had a Reno 19 16v (H224 HLF) Tungsten grey, a few years ago. Loved it!!!!

I've had an 850, a V40 and a V70, the 850 was a manual box and it was much quicker than the V70 Auto i had after it even though they basicly had the same engine.
the V40 was a company car i had, nice comfy motorway cruiser, diesel so cheaper to run (ahh the days when diesel was much cheaper than petrol) and it could do 130mph if pushed.

I'd petition Renault to start rebuilding the 19, or maybe just make a brand new one off
