I don't NEED any more.....but just in case !

What would be the point? You don't track it, you don't use it on the strip, and you don't drive fast on the road. It would be like having a 12" dick, and being celibate.

I'd leave the power as it is and focus on handling and the brake system, you have a really nice example of a car thats fast enough for your needs, I'd focus more on enhancing it rather than going for straight power.

It's all about the bragging rights, he felt really good for 10 seconds when he thought he had the most powerful Volvo. On Saturday, he wants that feeling again LOL

If the 4wd rolling road had been working, neither of you would have had bragging rights.

You sure? I would have brought the cossie

It would have been VERY close, your C70 is 10% down on factory figure, and it had a bleed valve, meaning the S60R would be 270bhp if your lucky !

And what pie in the sky science did you use to work that out? The C70 is 6 years older than the R with more miles on the clock. If you read what I posted I didn't say our R would have been most powerful, as there were other 4WD cars lined up for the day as well.

Yes, if Santa had brought his R.

[T5frankie]

Chris was coming too

Chris was coming too

Oh yeah, forgot he was coming, would have loved to see his running.

Hey ho would of done well for only a 2 litre

Yeah would have been interesting to see exactly what it has got, and to hear it obviously.

Yes but at least you know you have it lol

[Santa]

Yes, if Santa had brought his R.

Do we know if that dyno used linked rollers?

If not I doubt the s60r would have produced reliable results. (Being haldex and all)

I knew there was something I needed to find out, will try and remember tomorrow.

Thank you guy's for your posts, tbh it was only something I was wondering about and having read your comments will probably leave it as it is, maybe as Stewart (External Error) says enhance rather than go for outright power, another good point brought up by M-R-P was that other things would start to wear faster ie tyres and CV joints, this car is a 'keeper' for me and with it's low mileage should last for quite a while yet, I would be silly to prematurely age the car, plus Anne would kill me lol.

Graham, instead of outright 'POWER' why not upgrade the important bits, brakes suspension etc, maybe take a track driving course, as you're a professional driver and see all manor of bad habits on a daily basis a little tuition goes a long way, the amount of people I teach who are surprised just how much quicker they are after an afternoon of fun. Yes POWER is fun and addictive but knowing how to use it is far more rewarding

Some good points Neal, all I have are the standard (rubbish) brakes, and lowering springs, I would have had to look at these anyway, track driving course.....there's an idea

Not forgetting braided brake lines, polybushed wishbones and a strut brace
You'll be due new disks on the front next year, maybe go for a 320mm big brake kit then?
Good quality shocks (I wouldn't recommend coilovers for your purposes) wheel spacers, better brake fluid, maybe a camber kit, there's lots of little things you can sneak under the radar

[T5frankie]

at the very least i would bolt on an 18t, you wouldnt have to change anything else and could give you 280-290bhp
