The stats for the C30 T5 are a bit ****, they must be wrong 0 to 60 7.1 top end 140mph that cant be right my 854T5R has a smaller engine, is bigger car, less aero dynamic and ive still hit 150 on lots of ocassions still going up and i think the 0 to 60 on mine was 6.9 at press release, how can this be?
I think if thats the best volvo can do they should rip the T5 badge from it!
If the C30 has the same T5 as the new C70, it's a 2.5 low pressure turbo which only puts out 220hpQuote:
