What do you reckon it would take to see or make a 12 sec volvo

Sorry Rick, you got me and the Monkey involved, if you're lucky, we'll get bored and wander off lol
Ok, seriously, you need massive weight reduction, 400+bhp, huge tyres, a rwd conversion and b@lls of steel.

as Martin says RWD will help a lot....
strip it down... and pushing 400bhp... but does it matter that much ?

I assume you mean in a fwd volvo, ruling out the R/AWD cars.
Couple of things, good tyres, over 350bhp (with good power and torque delivery), a good diff and also a very good driver.. That could get you under 13s.
Or just do what p fandango has done and remove most of the car! lol
Someone called elliot is at the top of the 1/4mile times with a 12.9@117mph, which is a good time and a fantastic terminal speed. Don't know what car it was though.

With a bit of luck i think (hope) we'll see some people crack the 13sec barrier this year.

If any one is going to break a 13 sec barrier i think it will be Dean.I no of a mk2 fiesta with a zetec turbo engine in it pulling 12 1/2 sec quarter mile.We have 5cyls for Fu*k sake with more power as std lol we must be missing something.The mk2 fiesta is about 950kg did Duane get his car down to 1300kg?

What are them tyres called lol think they are called toyo 888s or some thing there slicks but road legal,there surposed to be good as well

You'll need to swap to smaller wheels but very wide and then have some drag radials and then soft front suspension and jack the back up and set hard plus need a very grippy diff and seam weld the shell and full cage plus strip it out and 400 bhp plus traction control would help.
Before my mate stripped his fiesta to build the 600 brake focus he has now it pulled 12.4 on the quarter at ten of the best and that was running at 400 bhp not the 510 bhp on high boost but we had to raise the back and drop the front and adjust suspension to aid traction but it handled horrible at over 100 mph on the quarter and gearbox was built for the car to handle over 500 hp and it still went bang but guy rebuilt it free as he guarented it and it was built for top speed runs as we got it featured after doing 179.8 mph at brunters.
I no the ford boys run a rad fan and a fan for the uprated intercooler check this time out

There's a guy with a rs turbo fiesta pulling 11's and then there's Andy Nichols in a rover 25 in 10's or maybe less but he does have nos
Just the way they are, tricky beasts to get of the line. Think duane lost more than that.
This is what you do, convert it to rwd and fit a 136bhp, 4cyl, 8v like what smithy has in his. lol
