Not bad, but what's the point?


You didn't show my car either, C70.

Volvos in general are ugly, but they are well built.

    Which one are you asking about? Which acceleration? There are 4 speedo accelerations, 2 S40s, 1 850 and 1 S60.

    I did put a pic of C70 in the beggining. The thing is, I tried to put only owners cars. I don't have many pictures/Videos which are owners pictures. All I have are mostly factory pictures and clips.

    Volvos are not ugly at all, atleast thats my opinion. Infact, I think they are one of the most nice looking cars around nowadays.

    Ok I'll make it easier for you:
    1st speedo acceleration is my car = S40 2.0T
    2nd: Is from S60 T5
    3rd: Is from S40T4
    4th: Is from 850T5

    All are modified.

    I liked that 3rd, because he is accelerating from 100km\h to over 200km\h very fast and it looks like he is accelerating from 0 to 100km\h. How many hp on that 3rd? Also yours has a very good acceleration from 0 to 100km\h I guess it's 5, 5,5 s

    I know that they are modified cause I think there is no unmodified volvo that accelerates that fast

    The S40T4 you were impressed with was putting at that time around 320bhp if I remember correctly.
    I haven't dyno'd my car but I am guessing it should be putting somewhere near the 250bhp and very close to 390~400Nm of torque (this is the impressive part). My car originally was 160bhp 240Nm.

    Take a look at the clip again, there is a car that is standing in the dark with the headlights turned on (not a pic, a video).. Thats mine.

    The new S40, and especially V50 look fantastic.
    Have you driven them yet?
    I've driven the S40T5, and I could say that it was one of the best Chassis I've ever experienced. Very stiff yet very flexable. The handling was just great. It is a sleeper. Fast yet quiet.

    This video is funny, Volvo being *the* safe family car, this seems totally out of context. :D
    Well we all know that Volvos are maybe the safest car in the world, but little do people know that they can be so fun to drive.
