Oh my!!! For the last couple months I keep wanting to try taking a Volvo and seeing what I can get out of it.

what the hell is the big deal my car can do that. :uhoh:

Bah fwd Volvo's aren't as fun as the older 700 and 900 series since those ones are rwd, people have actually been getting damned near 350 to 400hp out of the 2.3litre motor without running into trouble. Now if there ever was a sleeper it'd be a swedish brick on wheels

No, it was rear wheel drive, the front wheels were smoking because he was purging nitrous at his front wheels.

LMAO :iceslolan :grinno: :lol2:

Dude, couldn't you tell integra was being smartass?
Wow, that's pretty impressive for a car that looks like a refridgerator box. :disappoin

Now if there ever was a sleeper it'd be a swedish brick on wheels
