    I did a 13.8 in my t5 estate. @101mph that was with a 15g full exhaust decat and cone filter... Maybe more I can't remember it was a long time ago.

    I also done the same time in my saloon with similar mods still got the slips lol

    Neither had any weight loss, In fact it was weight gain 18st driver lol.
    Must be the way I drive

    Given 1/4 mile up for now though, lost the bug.... Did 11.9 in my Subaru so kinda pointless now, if I thought my v70r could get near my other Volvo times I might have a go but it's standard.

    It's all in the start, if you can get a 2.2 or 2.3 60ft time you have cracked it, I got my best time yesterday with a 2.44 60ft so if I could of equalled my best of a 2.2 I could of cracked 14 seconds gutted, I only had one problem free run which was my first

    Not being funny but why does the annoucer say "Volvo took the win at fourteen point something something" (hearing isnt that good).

    Perhaps the announcer made a mistake.

    Anyway any more sour grapes from me may seem a little churlish.

    To get a 13.8 in an 850 you need 300bhp fact

    Could also be the wrong times for the cars that went up,i remember a while ago i got a slip and it had my number on it but the results were from the 2 cars that ran just before i did.

    if you look at the slip he had a 2.5 sec reaction time which is wrong as in the video below they move off together instantly but its the jag that gets away alot quicker yet the volvo says it got a 2.2 but the jag a 2.3 60ft its incorrect adrain sorry, i had a result once that said i had a 14 sec run but it was a 17.,
