plus your shitty monte carlo was lucky to tag mid 14's stock. Did I also mentiuon that his little volvo has a far better power to weight ratio then your SS, stock for stock?
Volvo is owned by ford, yet uses no parts from ford, its actualy the other way around, skippy. graemlins/thumb.gif
Furthermore they got their super reliability reputation LONG before Ford even thought of put a bid on them.
As for performance;

2004 Volvo V70R. 300hp AWd 6 speed wagon. Theres nothing even close to that offered by the big 3. Slightly modified they hold 400+hp with no problems. Suck on that, Big 3. graemlins/nonono.gif
Just because they're not contantly hyped by sleeveless idiots doesn't mean they'r not fast.
