Re: How fast would this car be... ALL

posted by  someone claiming to be Steve Thomas on  Tue Nov 21 05:54 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I once owned a 73 144. It was the slowest car I ever owned. I also had a 72 142 with a B20E rebuilt by a performance shop. It didn't have any special cam or anything but was considerably faster. It was not as fast as my freinds Acura V-Tech, but was still very fun to drive. There's a lot more to the 140 than all out speed. Drive the Volvo for a while, if its in good shape, you'll know what I mean.

As for 0-60...not really sure. Based on the cars I could keep up with and the cars I couldn't, I'd say somewhere around 10 seconds (maybe more).
