Just in case you've not seen this on pistonheads. Not a volvo, but the sound it makes is fantastic :firedevil http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/news/default.asp?storyId=25041

Thats a shame, the video has been removed. I hope everyone was lucky enough to see it before it was banned! lol
Why did the video get pulled ?

To be honest when i first watched it i'd didn't really think about anything because it was an ex mclaren f1 racer thats been converted back to road use being given some stick and the sound was glorious. But then you think about it and you realise this is a car with over 600bhp that weighs about 1000kgs and he's giving it a lot of throttle in 2nd, 3rd and 4th on public (country) roads and you realise it probably wasn't the best idea. There was quite a difference of opinions on pistonheads towards the video and in the end even the thread itself was closed. Now, i like to see special cars being "driven", but even i thought it was a bit much when i actually thought about it. It did sound bloody awsome though.

Liam, can you type the noise on here so we get some idea of what it was like please?
I can do better than that. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ox0HXsDcDOU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ox0HXsDcDOU[/ame] and from the outside [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIXAjxGiWpo&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIXAjxGiWpo&feature=related[/ame]
Some serious gurgling going on!
epic noise (although Mr. Nedell was also being a bit naughty)
