Whooped an '85 GT with my Wife's Volvo

[NO SLO PK]

Hey Rev, the Volvo 850 T5 won't beat most cars in a 0-60 race or Quarter. Drag starts are hampered by extremely tall gears, but it does accelerate swiftly at freeway speed.
Like most European cars, it's designed for high speed running and accelerating at speed.

222 hp, turbo power band, great aerodynamics...that's what makes it work on the freeway.

FWIW, the new V70 T5 has reported times of high 14s, I believe with the auto.
