Mine was this if the weight and bhp is correct:

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 245
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1800
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 138.30
0 - 60 (Secs) : 7.61
0 - 100 (Secs) : 19.53
60 - 100 (Secs) : 11.92
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 15.96
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 90.41
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 15.76
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 91.92

Don't think these calculators are entirely correct- my car certainly isn't running 300bhp (the figure that gives me my 1/4 mile et of 15.06 using that calculator) with a mbc and cone filter.
Dyno is the only way to get a fairly accurate bhp figure at the wheels.

850 t5 vs 600cc, i'd be very surprised if your car weighs as much as 1800kg

my times if i hit my targets

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 300
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1300
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 234.47
0 - 60 (Secs) : 5.07
0 - 100 (Secs) : 11.58
60 - 100 (Secs) : 6.51
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 13.37
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 107.46
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 13.17
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 109.40

mine worked out almost right with the weight of the car minus driver, but as you say its pure guestimation

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 250
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1475
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 172.21
0 - 60 (Secs) : 6.33
0 - 100 (Secs) : 15.44
60 - 100 (Secs) : 9.11
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 14.68
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 97.50
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 14.48
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 99.20

unless you have removed weight from the car the weight of 850s is in the 1950ish kgs

perhaps when fully packed for your holidays yes


from the 1993 Volvo 850 press release

[yellowt5r]

going by my vin plate gross weight is 1970kg

[lance]

I havent weighed an 850 but would guess around 1400 KG a phase 1 v70 T5 CD spec with me and a load of fishing tackle and other stuff was 1580 KG and IRC a phase 2 with similar amount of other stuff and perhaps another 1/2 stone for my beer belly was around 1800 KG

mine tells me that my P1 V70 T5CD is a portly 2000kg....erk!

[Volvocano]

pleas dont look in the drivers door for this, this is max weight inside the car not kerb weight hehe

1900kg is almost 4wd sports mpv level i.e porsche, merc, audi q7

I'm sure that weight (2000kg) is the max towing weight.....

average weight for an 855 is roughly 1450kg, if you stick to that you wont be far wrong.. I'll get mine weighed next week, and report back...
