Well the Wife took her car in to get service and they gave her on 06 S60 T5. I was thinking of taking it out for a spin see how the Turbo handles maybe tearing it up a little. Should I?

 

i would get a manual boost controller first!!!

 

Well it's test and tune night at Bithlo...

 

do it

 

You think Volvo would notice if I took it out to the track and run it a couple of times. As a joke should and leave the racing numbers on the rear window I wonder what they would say.

 

LOL!!!

Seeing their "wtf" expression on their faces would just be priceless.

 

Ok going to take it for a spin.... BRB and let everyone know what I think. If we still have it Wed. night ill take it to the track.

 

uuummmm, this IS Wednesday night...

 

...is it red? I just saw one, and it looks pretty nice considering its a Volvo

 

????? How the turbo feels or how the car handles. I think that's what you meant. The T5 is ok. I wasn't that impressed with the 60R either. Volvo's handling always feel vague. I took a BMW 535 rental car out to the track a couple years ago. You're liable for damages anyways so what's the difference. It's under your care, custody and control as your auto policy would read and considered a temporary replacement vehicle but your policy will also exclude racing so it's a gamble no matter who actually holds the title. Flog it and don't feel bad about it.

 

Ok got back this is how I feel. Handling is Blah....Decent Pick up for the size of the car impressed with the size of the Turbo I didnt notice any lag or anything like that. Interior was nice however there were some spots on the inside of the door and the dash that looked cheep. Pulled out of Publix and spun out a little and was like woa nice, unexpected for sure. Im sure its slower that the G but it felt Peppy and when you punch it you can def. hear the Turbo which can be a plus or a negative depending on how you look at it. One thing is for sure it is nice to treat a car like crap that isnt yours and not pay anything for it. Eventhough its a FORD I still like it for a mommy mobile.

If we have it Wed. night I will bring it by the track.

 

Oh yeah sorry its not Red its midnight blue.

 

Feel guilty, lol. It sure is fun beating on a car isn't it! I'd be interested to see how the S40 T5 is since they are advertising for it in tuner mags now.

 

it would be interesting my wife has the regular S60 no turbo and its Doggin. There is a def. diff. with the Turbo.

 

Sorry Neffster I just realized today is Wednesday.....Im must be realy out of it with work.
