    Anyway, if your gonna talk about your scooby then you shouldn't be comparing it to fwd volvos for 0-60, i reckon richs s60r would be a close race to 60mph.

    If i can manage just under 6seconds 0-60 mph in my 1700+kg 300bhp, auto tank, you should be able to do some quick times when yours is done.........if you can get the power down. lol
