Re: how fast would this car be...

posted by  someone claiming to be Will on  Tue Nov 21 19:37 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Well if you are looking for an older Volvo thats fast enough stand toe to toe with hondas, speaking with stock numbers, respectivly, I would suggest a 240 turbo intercooled...like mine :) Civics aren't fast (stock or slightly modified), the del sol is a different story as I recall the 0-60 is in the 6's...

Oh and you don't have to keep it stock. Old Volvos, in my opinion, make excellent sleepers. Anyway, this is a subject frowned upon by some of the members of the BB, and is probably in appropriate to discuss in a forum such as this one, so if you want to chat feel free to drop me a line @ twofourfour@yahoo.com

Best to you whichever way you decide to go,

(Although I'd think about what would happen in a Honda vs. Volvo wreck as well..)

Will
