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? :D

I'm looking at a 13.9 second pass with the interior. 13.5ish w/o (depending on how much I gut it).. nothing like your tin can on wheels though smile.gif .

honestly, the reason why I give you shit is because your car is always "the best out there" now it's good to have pride in what you drive, but you're all about how great it is... honestly, I don't give a rats ass how great you think you car is... you drive a volvo with 170 whp.... whoopity fucking dooo I make more power at idle than you do... but I don't go around bragging thinking that my car is a factory freak or something.

 

on a side note, you wanted honesty, so I'm giving it to you. If you'd tone down on the "I'm great at everything" BS then people wouldn't rag on you so hard...

 

case in point, you came on here originally with a Caviler that had a stroke that "rivaled a 383" and you would brag about it non-stop... you realized is wasn't doing what you thought it would... so you got a Volvo and do the same thing about it... now Volvo's are nice cars and I'll make my wife drive one, one day to haul the kids around, but geeze... it's not a sports car or a race car... stop trying to make it into one.

 

you're probably right... allot of us are dickheads online and talk shit... but honestly, in this post, I'm just being honest.

Dude, who hear thinks that the volvo would look frickin sweet with fangs? Personally I think it'd be bad ass! but not 11 sec fbody badass. more like 19 sec minivan badass!! I'm not even sure how many who will read this post would know about the fangs, but anyway. This is all in good fun man. My fbody used to be a 15 sec car. Very high 15s but it has decayed and is in need of a good overhaul. (some think a v8). I received more shit for wanting a fast v6 than you have received over your volvo but I learned quick that online everyone on the messageboard act like complete dicks so get over it. Or be a dick back.

New guy here(average civic owner): I have a scion xb with NOS that will whip everyone's ass. It must have 400 hp, look at all my stickers.

 

CR: you're a weiner who needs to be shot on sight and then skull-f*cked for buying a scion.

 

It's that simple.

Let the Volvo guy chime in:

Incase some of you are blind that's DOES SAY 8.46@163 in a Volvo!

 

Oh and what about an old body style S40

Quote from the Owner"The engine is programmed to be run on 98 octane petrol (standard in Sweden) and I'm running at 26 PSI of boost between 4.000 and 7.000 rpm. The result 420bHp / Torque 520Nm

 

To give you a feel for what the performance is like, you can compare weight to power ratio.

 

A sample of fast cars have the following ratio:

 

Ferrari 360 Modena (3,7 kg/hp)

Lamborghini Murcielago (3,4 kg/hp)

Porsche 911 Turbo 420hk (3,7 kg/hp)

BMW M5 E60 507 hk (3,6 kg/hp)

Audi RS4 380 hk (4,4 kg/hp)

 

My car weighs 1.300 kg which gives it a ratio of under 3,1 kg per horsepower... Actually giving it better acceleration performance than all of the above stated cars."

 

OR THIS 650HP supercharged PUV (performance utility vehicle) all I can say is FU Porsche:

haha... dang dude, ur on a roll today!

 

Josh, as far as the picture of the pro-street Volvo... any car can be made fast with enough money dumped into it...

 

I personally don't have a problem with Volvo's... it's the "my car is always better than everything else" attitude... My car is a Piece of Shit and I know it.. but it's my POS... I don't try to make people think it's a sports car... it's a 4 door grocery getter.
