hahaha i beat one of those a couple years ago in my stock *** 4A infiniti I30. nice kill

 

The Volvo C70 comes with either a light pressure turbo (197hp) or the high pressure turbo (~236hp i believe).

My car (Volvo S60 T5) has 247hp and I don't think i could touch a G coupe from a standing start.

I made the mistake one time a few months ago of pulling up with a 350z at a stoplight (not like i was really trying cuz i know better, but i wanted to see what the nissan could do). it absolutely punished me.

And i definitely wouldn't be able to keep up with a G as soon as the road started getting curvy... the suspension tuning on my car is terrible... like Road & Track said about my car, "a motor looking for a chassis"

volvos are not really sporty cars... some of the new ones just happen to be unnaturally quick for what they are

agreed but damn the s60r is sooo tastey! watch out for those guys

 

the S60R is tricky, because it makes a huge difference if it is an A/T or M/T.

The 6-speed puts down 298 torque while the auto is only ~260. I test drove one with an auto and was like "this is not much quicker than what i have now", although the AWD and active suspension system help considerably with the handling

i was very close to gettin a s60r 6speed. but the interior..particularly the gearbox, and the dull fact that its a volvo made me think othewise. it is however a huge step for for volvo in the performance market so good on them....

 

of course the 350z punished you. it would also punish a g35 cpe.

 

go home kookoo!

 

go home kookoo!

 

a 350z punishing a g35 coupe?? uh i dont think so...unless you consider neck and neck a punishment. I raced one about a month ago, both completely bone stock. We were side by side the whole time.

Btw the 350Z I raced was a manual with an excellent driver and mine's an auto.
