but volvos are never gonna be good at the 1/4 mile as other makes power for power, get yourself on a track day with us and you will never look back mate

They are quite surprising if set up right, standard they are a bit pants, but good shock poly bushes and strutbrace makes a hell of a difference. If anything it's brakes you want to worry about.
