I believe it's 1-1 at the moment mate, we shall see lol, anyway ive got bigger fish to fry.....Rnash, Smithness etc lol

Suppose I'm going to have to try harder before I'm seen as credible competition lol

People can't compete with you yet, because you cheat! You and your bloody awd! lol

AWDs are notoriously difficult to launch

[t5_monkey]

AWDs are notoriously difficult to launch

compared to FWD? c'mon

I'd choose a 4WD car for a 1/4 mile any day of the week

Stop taking the p*ss. lol

[Santa]

I used to be able to launch a fwd pretty well......these days the only fwd I launch is a diesel passat

Sorry mate, a bit of an 850 shoot out, at the moment im in last place but there are a few of us that could with a fair wind break the elusive 14 sec barrier.

Pull the fuse on the awd and you can join in lol

Doesn't quite work with a dual mass clutch......would probably just end up a smoking mess. (If it wasnt for the dual mass clutch I could probably launch at a more sensible rpm and in turn get a better more progressive launch).

[Santa]

Actually just throught of a couple of ways that may lead to successful launch without the awd system active.......may have to test them

[Giles]

1. Santa 20
2. Smithy
3. Jamest5r
4. Smithness
5. Ed
6. Rnash2002
7. LiamT4
8. Chad (Maybe)
9. V70ETS (Maybe)
10. Giles

Cant see you getting a better launch with the awd off,will give you a worse time over all.

i think we should all get worried with rnash pulling 303 bhp on the rollers .me and james are going to put our heads together and make the car even more of a beast to compete against rash and smithness best do some more tuning to his car .but dont worry rnash me and james will make sure you have a worthy compettior at avon on the 3rd oct.OH YES

You shouldn't be allowed to compete directly either, because your car is rwd! and don't go giving us this "but i'v only got 8 valves" stuff! lol
Do you think you'll get into the 13's at avon?

I have to agree,i think we should have fastest volvo but then have a few more sub tables like maybe 850's, s/v70's, fwd,rwd,awd,auto or manual

Looking at the normal turnout that would mean Smithy and I fighting in classes of our own.

but i do only have 8vs and 4 pistons and its old design and the standard 0 to 60 is 11.5 secs so how am i going to catch your big and powerful 850s/70s.lol i think i am allowed due to these reasons.
yes i will get 13s before i take it off the road for the winter.
i have to admit is going to be a good comp between the 850s to see who going to be the top of the tree.
im just scrared for my poor 940 being beaten by all these 850s its not going to look good on youtube and the volvo forums lol

[Jamest5r]

If we all chip in a couple of quid i will phone Jeremy at Avon and get some trophy's made, i.e fast volvo on the day, fastest 850 etc?? Let me know

[Santa]

If we all chip in a couple of quid
