And LS1s are great power plants, plagued by their chassis. I see your point. graemlins/thumb.gif

I gave'm 2 grand and got a whole car. graemlins/thumb.gif

...thats real? graemlins/wtf.gif impressive, but they're going to be some fucked up old men. tongue.gif

fuckin SWEET.

provided they didnt specify a break in period. With aftermarket shops you need clear and utterly obvious proof that they fucked something up, and even then you're not legaly garaunteed to get your money back. Any refunds granted are usualy to keep people from spreading bad press.

were you driving backwards? Pics would help alot here, especialy since you've done stuff to the car.

You were at the wrong track. graemlins/thumb.gif http://www.classicvolvo.com/subs/drivingfolder/hunchback.jpg http://www.datacomm.ch/~cao/pic/volv_br2.jpg http://www.datacomm.ch/~cao/pic/rydelsil.jpg http://www.datacomm.ch/~cao/pic/Vr_he_01.jpg http://www.classicvolvo.com/subs/drivingfolder/gullabo.jpg http://volvooffroadklub.dk/dakar-rally/racecar.jpg

I hope her folks are happy, they made their daughters name into a nationwide joke just before she died. Sure did beat letter her die with dignity.

suit size? I'm not familiar with their system, it fits you, how big are ya?

Weak sauce, this is going where it belongs. http://www.lasvegassun.com/from.ed/1997/jun/29/photos/P000014106.jpg Lets get it on.....

consider yourself lucky. Although, I have to say, going through it as a 3rd grader probably wouldn't be as tough as going through it now.

the balance is leveled out quite nicely. The best that can be said about the LS1 swap is "it doesn't mess it up too bad". It honnestly screws it up less then a 20B swap would. Its still heavier and has mass further forward. Joe, simple enough, pick yourself ouit a decent big single, you can be quite happy with 400-450bhp in an FD, and not sacrifice much drivability. Tune it fat, though. graemlins/thumb.gif

no. just short of 3850, weighed and measured on some truck scales. Me, I weigh in at about 180 now, so I guess I came up a bit short.

The 3 series has fallen to the reliability of the FD...... graemlins/wtf.gif I'd have made the same choice.

I'm sure a few of columbus PD's finest may be interested, since they frequent the board. Why post something like this?

google it graemlins/thumb.gif Learn ye the powerfull tools of the infarweb. btw. Volvo cars has a link right on Volvo.com's front page.

Will Caddy be making a AWD wagon flavor? Sure, what the hell, join in.

I'd rock the lumina. And the cougar may see the 1/4 mile soon. I'll want to give it a show while the auto is still in it. Whats mid 13's minus 500lbs?

apparently something thats been rode hard and put away wet. Public statements like that are a good way to get fired, Tiff. graemlins/thumb.gif

A: my red turd is still faster, and put down 227 with a slipping tranny. B: you have no power adder, yet have thousands invested none the less C: FWD is ghey D: we're talking volvo's here, therefore my bitches, the S60R and the V70R, are still faster. I know I own crap. Malard, comin up quick with legitimate ownage. However, I must say, Volvo's Cavalier is a hell of alot better then chevy's. graemlins/thumb.gif

ohh shit, forgot about that. Touche' Jason, touche'. Still Automatics, though, and they are all made in Canada. AND they (w/awd) weigh in at a whopping 4300 Lbs!! The lighter 4100lb RWD model gets a fgactory rated 14.6 1/4 mile! My bird weighs 3800 lbs (4000 with me), makes 190rwhp on a good day, and has tagged 14.8's. The Volvo gets 18/26mpg, makes power for an extra 500-600rpm, and weighs only 3700 lbs. Still looking for official 1/4 mile numbers. 1-60 in 5.9 seconds, the Magnum (in 4100lb RT RWD trim) slugs its way to 60 in 6.2. Imagine the AWD version (since this is an aples to aples thread) with 200 more lbs and even more drivetrain HP loss. Good point Jason, but volvo still >* btw, you can also get an S60 R, the non wagon, with the same engine/drivetrain, but cheaper and minus 200 lbs and a tenth in the 0-60 run. Both volvo's are electronicaly limited at 155mph, the Hemi V8 Magnum falls off at 143 (per the only actual test I could find, but the michigan state police) [ 09.

Those are all sports cars son. graemlins/thumb.gif No domestic make produces anything as powerful and usable as the V70R. If you want 300hp from a domestic make, you have to give up alot, like a back seat. Your only option is a front wheel drive STS or GXP, and who the hell wants FWD and slushbox automatic? (GM's break anyways) Safty, room, creature comforts, efficiency. You can drop the kids off at school, then go tag 13's at the strip. The only companies with offerings in the class are Audi and Mercedes, and they both cost more and come with questionable reliability. So, on the off chance that you do get some pussy, and have a kid, you dont have to fret when you wife makes you hock your SS for a family vehicle. For around $35g you can have 300hp, a 6spd, awd, and enough room to haul the family. BTW, the GTO is not American, its Australian. graemlins/thumb.gif "LS1 bla bla", so? Jensens used american engines, they were still designed elsewhere. You have abetter agrument then the SS guy. In rebuttle, your car isn't quite stock now, it is? smile.gif And, given that this it the kitchen, every one of your mothers, and some of your fathers, are skanky ass whores.
