Thanked 0 Times in 0 PostsThat Volvo is one very quick car.
I used to have the "pleasure" of working for saab and had a 93 2.0lpt one as a company car and i can say that they are pretty rapid bits of kit; it would easily get up to and above the 135mph mark, and most days did!! But much prefer my 10 year old coffin carrier for big grins

Thanked 23 Times in 15 PostsYeah I've seen the vid before, Saab is 650 bhp, that said, it was slower to react, so volvo was off before it, ET (which doesnt include RT) would have been closer between the two, still reckon the Volvo was faster though.
RossAll fast cars long gone. Sensible family BMW 3 series now.
Still Volvo links though as my wife has a V50 R design sport and a mildly fettled T4
