    Talking Bragging rights! lol

    took a friend to pick up his 02 plate s3 from the garage where it had a very extensive service and been mapped, bare in mind {he's just bought it and its got low miles fsh} . he had a passenger on board which given the 850awd is like 2ton i feel is fair s3 is about 1600kg's i think. anyways standing start he would §§§§ on my chips every time, but rolling start second gear and to be fair the old girl kept up pretty much. well proud of my old motor, she looks rough round the edges but she goes!! lol
    should have seen his face when we got back, was like {in a surprised voice} "your cars quite fast isn't it" whoop whoop kept up with a chipped s3 lol should prob go an turn the boost back down a bit now. lol

    the handling is a bit ragged on the Volvos but no one can deny they are seriously quick compared to a lot of other more powerful cars in a straight line.
