Iv had a couple of Evo's or 'jap craps' as earlier stated and the Evo 6 would definitely out handle a Fwd volvo and all the 4wd volvo's!
I might make this one, but not racing providing the weather is ok.
and yes, i will bring some sweets !
somebody has to referee all this banter lol

Ok frankie lol
My s70r auto could do 0-60 in just under 7secs and this 540 would destroy that off the line.
From about 30mph-90mph the bmw is only a bit quicker than my volvo was, yet my 1/4mile time was much better and that was mainly down to how it gets off the line.
Remember what you say about richs s60r - not that quick once its rolling - yet it still manages a 13.3@101mph 1/4mile. if its not that quick on the move, then it must bloody fly of the line lol

it does fly off the line, not as quick as an impreza remember his car has over 100bhp more than mine, remember ive had a 540 mate and they aint that quick not even as quick as my v70r was and that was fwd
its a shame a load of us didnt have a little competition in the 0-60 area, would have been a laugh, and my 5.0 was done in the wet
How would a 540 have been quicker than your v70r? It was a manual with 311bhp and is about 180kgs lighter than a 540, although saying that what was the fastest 1/4mile in your v70r, a 14.2? so considering it had more power and less weight, it got you two tenths quicker on the 1/4mile than my 540. Remember my 60ft is 2.2 and thats without a powerstart, so thats going from 500rpm off the lights.
Anyway i reckon you bought a 528 that someone told you was a 540i and you believed them

the v70r is old news now mate, i reckon i could get low to mid 13's in the standard scoob, why i think that is after following dave down the straight at silverstone he could not pull away from me even with the extra 100bhp he has
