So there is that big of a weight difference? The s80 t6 does some really good burnouts though. 
98.5 SVT
91 Escort GT (almost sold)
96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve)
FS: SVT rear sway bar
WTB: Very cheap beater

The S80 T6 is about 300 lbs heavier than the S40 T5, but the big loss for it over the T5 is that the S80 T6 is Automatic only, the T5 is a Standard. That extra 40 horsepower just goes out the window with the drivetrain loss of the ATX.

I've driven a FWD s80 t6. I guess it would be quicker than the s40, though I don't think it's any quicker than a CSVT, if it is, it's only marginally quicker.
The S80 has considerably more power than the S40 (280/280), however it's quite a bit heavier, and doesn't put its' power down as well and is therefore much slower.
the S80 handles like an old Chrysler Fifth Avenue. don't bother with it if you plan on having fun in corners.
