Re: how fast would this car be...

I don't think I have ever seen the actual 0-60 times for the 140. Possibly would show up in an old Car And Driver test from the 70s. Try looking at the library, might be something there. I'd personally say the car won't be something to race Hondas with, they're built completely differently. But, having not been out of high school too long, I can say that your Honda driving friends will rapidly insist on taking your car every time you go somewhere as a group. Since I bought my 242 I haven't been able to ride anywhere in a friend's car. And if you're going for something different, the 140 will certainly be your ticket. Plus eventually you'll realize that racing isn't worth it, and want the Volvo even more. I realized it when a friend raced through a wheat field and into a concrete farm building.

Good luck with whatever you choose.
