What do you know about the Volvo S60R? Had one trying to race me on a 35 MPH road! Idiot, I obviously never went for his bait as that is just plain stupid. But got me curious of what might have been. It looked pretty nice to be honest and was maybe a 2008 model, maybe a little newer.

Turbo 5 cyl. with about 300hp.. AWD also if im not mistaken.. Not sure as far as performance but they weigh about 3500/3600lbs. so they aren't too shabby..

How does a v5 work?

OP, it would be a close race. . . they're high 13 sec cars from what I have seen. From a dig I think he'd get ya, but from a roll you'd have the advantage.

Magic.

Fastest I've seen is 13.7 @ 103 MPH. You'll likely catch him on the top end, but from a dig with a dead hook you'll have a problem.

S60R vs V6 the Volvo will walk you. I have been in these they run really well up to there speed limiter which is not very high. May have a chance against the Automatic as they can be rather sloshy.

Well... It's really a V4 and the 5th piston just goes from bank to bank, alternating strokes... DUH

Did not look at his mods. Was just commenting on Stock vs Stock. It is very rare to see a s60r modded there are only basically 4 people that make parts and actually tune them, and it is very very spendy.

Stock for stock he will get you from a dig. From a roll and around a track you should have him, but not by a large amount. Maybe a car.
