What’s up with the early shifts? And soft launches? Can’t compare when each of you are going light on the cars and driving differently. Bad comparison imo, these vehicles can do a lot better.
Yeah, you can make up seconds when launching properly and shifting almost flat without loosing boost in the middle of the shift. I can make my remapped S40 T5 AWD manual to go 0-60 around 6,1s if everything goes nicely, but if I shift like these guys it will be similar numbers, like high 7 secs or low 8s 0-60. For the Shifting Lanes guys: When you tune your car to go fast, please try sometimes to punish it even a bit. I know it's unnecessary stress to the car to launch it hardly, but the feeling is worth it. :)
At 5:59 he is shifting too early and the turbo has to spool again, if he would've shifted later it would've been faster! Still great video thanks for making it i enjoyed!
they all shifted too early in different runs.. or dumped the clutch/torqued it too hot... also didn't start out in the right gear to reduce time spent shifting, every shift costs around 1/4 second for these cars and these guys..3 or 4 shifts.. that touching on +1 second. meaning every car should been below 10 seconds easily... i would thing wagon touching on mid 8's with an amazing but aggressive launch and the rest probably be low to mid 9's the wagon specially let down by that short shift and slow start//that 1/8th mile time could been done alot faster i think...pulling mid 8's i would think. brake torque/clutch dump it 2nd gear and just below full wheel spin/traction control lock out.. 2nd gear 2500 grand launch maybe and hold 2nd gear much longer, pull it until its out of puff ..6500+ atleast...then throw it into 3rd.. or i mean the wagon has alot more torque and power and displacement, so i mean maybe even get away with 3rd gear launch torquing it hard off the line.. and skip all shifting
Antilaakeri I don’t expect them to be abusive or exceptionally aggressive though as these are likely their personal cars and clutch dumping and brake torquing can put a lot of stress on things specially given that Volvo’s really aren’t light. But I think they can all drop at least 1 second off these times. But all ya the wagon has the most potential in terms of raw speed, but on a track i as a wagon owner will admit it probably be the slowest specially in more technical areas unless they upgrade suspension, brakes and various bits for geometry like sway bars and such.
@@Honeypot-x9s The awd system on these wagons is very weak, doing just 1 launch can strip the angle gear of the haldex system, then its 1-3k to fix it.
Why would you double clutch on upward shifts with a synchromesh box? I agree the changes are awful but in fairness to the guys the Volvo gearbox is not renowned for slick changes? In fact the gearbox on an S 60 I drove for 5 years would have been more at home in a tractor.

Guys, you need to try a UK EX-police V70. I had one for few years back and it was awesome ( scarey ). Me and my boys did some 0 - 60 sprints using obd2 data ( and an iphone (crap) app) and the v70 was pulling 0-60 in well under 6 sec and had 150K+ on the clock ( ex patrole car from Scotland). Apparently the police don't alter them! really, but nothing was standard when it needed replacing at a service. I bloody scared me when I opened it up and I have previously run a few RX7's some of them were modified.
I hope your productions stay like this.......I will always grab me something to eat and drink before pressing play....the moment it changes beyond what I just watched I'm done....just me I know but this socialmediasphere is glutted with (must watch) entertainment.
Hanson I think you are wrong about the aerodynamics comment. The V70 may actually have better aerodynamics than the S60 as one of the things that made the 850 (855) BTCC dominate BTCC back in the day was it’s unique aerodynamics and of corse the reangled engine top/ valve train which gave it more power than the competitors.

@@ShiftingLanes Well, let's start with the *225,618* miles, shall we? The seats look like it - they're in about the same shape (or a bit worse) than the M3 I had that I let go to a new home at 198,500 miles in 2014. The exterior is in great shape - one tail light has a small crack in it, and there's some paint damage on the front air dam. Brakes are spongy as hell. OMG. The engine is making a small whining noise. Could be the power steering pump (same as my M3, and it makes the same sound as every failing PS pump ever), could be the turbo, could be that I need a whole new engine. Who knows? I think FCP Euro will have a lot of entries in my checkbook register. :) Fortunately, I have a backup... :joy: i.imgur.com/e2bRUly.png It's going to stay parked in the garage until next month. When the plates come in from the DMV, I'll take it over to my FLVS and see what I'm actually looking at here. But for as nice as the body shell is, $2600 (including Tax/Title/License and having it delivered to my door from 175 miles away), means I've got budget to fix a fair number of things before I reach the "what it's worth" point, right? Push comes to shove, fix some little things for a couple grand and our teen can drive it around for a year or two - or even take it to college with him, right?
Jonathon Barton ah so a normal R. Got it 🤣 you’ll love it just the same. That’s not entirely horrible. All fixable. Nice XC! That’s what I want to get next. Love the newer ones. -Gregson
The 0 to 60 for the S60R and V70R are really slow for what they are. The S60R should be well under 6 seconds. Something is very wrong with it, the cold weather should have made it faster. Many possibilities, the intercooler is probably plugged up with that many miles if they have not been taken out and washed internally.
Few things to point out: 1. Slight incline they are racing on not a very level ground and there was a corner or two mixed. 2. Cold day = Cold tires + Cold road = limited launching capabilities since tire slip is more likely specially on launch when most potential acting against the tire. 3. The drivers here starting in 1st and short shifting 4. Lack of experience and/or personal cars they don’t wish to abuse too much. But they short shifted a lot and throwing a lot of gears to get to 60, should just launch it in a taller gear and with it brake torquing or clutch dump it at a few grand. Each gear throw is costing them 1/4 second and going through at least 2 gears just to get to 60.. that’s potentially upwards of 1/2 second wasted. 5. Tires of unknown quality.. they mentioned V70R has best tires, it’s possible that they all could do with better tires.
From what I saw, the drivers were the main issue -- specifically shifting. On a stock S/V60R M66 you should hit 60 just before you grab 3rd. These guys shifted way too early and the shifts were slow.
@@AmirPomen they using a iPhone app and attempting a 1/8th mile run..and 0-60 was captured within that run... likely inaccuracies and such because its not a proper setup, just iPhone app using gyros and satellites. they need a real speed trap setup and/or a vbox to capture real speeds without accuracy issues
Good video review of swedish Moose. I took a Moose XC70, 210 hp, 3 years drive Хороший видео обзор шведских Лоси. Взял себе ХС70, 210 л.с, 3 год езжу. Satisfied
Another good video,blokes .The method of timing is a little hit and miss but good general feel .It is funny for us in Australia seeing you freeze ,it's is 40c here in the burbs of Sydney . Go the c30 !!!
I have a S60 (with the newer body) but always wondered whether I should have bought the V60. Aside from this I also wanted to buy a C30 to modify it because its body shape is close to the shooting brake style that I've always loved. I guess I must like Volvo's so this episode is just perfect for me.
Depends on how much space you need. V60's boot is not that much bigger because of the steeping rear. Still I think it looks better, so I bought the V60.
I am the new proud owner of a 2007 V70 2.5T FWD 1 owner with 135 k miles. I stole it for 2,500. The previous owner just informed me he recently did a total mantainance service costing him 2,500 not to mention 4 new tires. New fluid's, belts, cam, plugs, filters etc. I am heaven.
I think you’re all winners. Those cars sound so good 👌🏾. If you want accurate data I think Racelogic has a pretty good one. Expensive but can be used for a multitude of different things
Thanks Ejike! Great suggestion on Racelogic. We’ve already been looking at better equipment. That’s on the list. Can’t wait to do this again in the spring at an actual strip!
Looking forward to the suspension info. Will the suspension be compatible with the V50 T5 6 speed AWD? For some reason the rear suspension is different for FWD. Gotta look into why.
I'm somehow not sure of using the phones for tracking the performance because looking at the speedo during the runs (especially for Chad) it doesnt seem to pick up acceleration in a realistic way, really noticeable after gearshifts too
Idk about his S60r since it's a manual, but my automatic has an atrocious 1st gear and doesn't actually use all of its power until the torque limiter turns off in 3rd gear. It's definitely a rolling start car.
My m56 850r does 0-60 in about 5 seconds and that's with boost limited in first and crappy tires. I would say the best way to time it is to just record the speedometer and use a stopwatch. I've found gps trackers are often off by ± .2 seconds.
Hansen's sounds the best, only because he has the same exhaust as me 🤣 but I don't think that ol' girl is making 300 at the moment. But the AWD works! Service that, fluid and filter, make a video! Definitely heard some wheel spin on the VR, definitely FWD. Atacama was a win from the start though. I'm impressed with the C30, that thing will be a monster later on. And those wheels look amazing! Great video guys! Can't wait to see some drag strip action later on.
ShiftingLanes I definitely will. When I visit family in NJ I would love to have you guys do a review of the Polestar. Volvo guys gotta stick together you know!!
Stock tune on a P2R, shift at 4k, and keep going 3k-4k through all the gears, quickest way to shift it, and get up to speed. Also, what wasn't noted, were the P2Rs in sport or advanced modes? Was traction control turned off?
When you guys change the angle gear cooler go to a semi truck shop and get a brake Clevis the drill 3/8 hole through the collar put a grade 8 bolt through the brake clevis and through the collar then thread your slide hammer into the brake Clevis best way to get those stuck collar off the transmission gear
My stock 2013 s60R with Polestar tune consistently makes a 0-60 runs between 5.1.to 5.3 in the winter and 5.4 - 5.7 in the summer(PS3+) I just don't understand how you guys are going so slow...possibly since it looks like the road is a bit uphill grade.
The apps are super unreliable... On paper the s60r should be quite a bit quicker, it has more power off the bat... C30 should be almost as fast as its remapped compared to the extra weight of the v70r.... My v50 t5 has an annoying over rev when you lift off the gas, it carrys on a tiny bit. Means gear changes are never fast,,, it has thrown a pedal fault so likely to be that or the wiring somewhere. I will be getting a remap in the new year though, mainly because this channel makes me want it lol... Keep up the good work fellas 👍
Traction. 1st was spinning so to limit the wheel spin I short shifted into 2nd. Tires grabbed and she bogged. Wanted to at least keep the revs up for boost which is why I didn't lift
Interesting to say the least. Did you guys disengage the DTCS? 8 sec to 60 mph wasn't impressive at all...and you guys got Tunes and exhaust? Nobody is sure if the AWD is working properly? I'm an owner with a zero stage plus a drop in K&N. I'm sure mine is faster than those times! Lol I can't wait to you guys get official numbers from an official drag strip with functioning AWD active and no excuses! Thanks guys! Staying Tuned.✌
@@micke2943 Totally agree. I've been enjoying you guys page since S60R's debut! Also, you guys being "locals" holds my interest even more. I can basically drive to all the pro shops! I kinda like my stock exhaust. To me it makes great sounds when I'm on it and stealth when I'm not. Plus, I've passed highway patrol being a bit enthusiastic and thank goodness it's just a Volvo! Lol👍
agreed!! i have the trackaddict app and my c30 with the polestar tune and the elevate short ram intake is 6.0 to 60. shifting at the right time is crucial with k24 turbos as they are take longer to spool than the k04
I wish I could have shown up with my stage 3 Audi a4 and embarrassed some Swede cars. The 2 step launch control and no lift shift fireballs would have been the star of the show.
I love the video but the only gripe I have is I know that with my stock M66 S60R I can do a 9.2 to the 1/8 mile at 6000 ft altitude so Im not sure why they are so slow these cars are a lot faster than in the video
Hi, I have a completely stock S60 2.4 (170 HP) and I tried out to see how much slower my car is (in comparison with your turbo ones). I did the 0-60 in 8.6s and the 1/8 mi in 10.7s (also with winter tyres). I think your cars can do it much better than they did. Please check your mappings and try to change the gears within the best range. Mine is easy, 170 HP at 6200 rpm :) Best regards from Germany!
hit like if you like it? 3 white blocks sinning over and over, it's a joke right? what is not to like, but as some have stated, let them rev out a bit more when doing 0-60 mph should be doable in 2th gear, not sure with the C30 on the other hand, my V70R dont stop before reaching 7,5k rpm not sure if the US spec is any different.
@@christopherlaidler8001 well you made me research it. The aero benefit was in down force from the long roof. The first car available to the race team for track testing happened to be a wagon. Then Volvo thought it would be great pr for t-5 wagon sales after seeing that first mule. You're correct.
Good video but I have an S40 AWD T5 and I would expect better times than that when it was stock. I think driver skill and caution is too big a factor here to compare each car but in the UK everyone can drive a manual so the standards are much higher I guess, I have been able to double clutch shift properly since I was 17. Still a good video and its refreshing to see the mighty Ovlovs in the states rather than the usual American obsession with Japanese cars!
Best automotive TH-cam channel out there!
have u heard of Robbie Ferriera?
I like it but MCM has it claimed right now.
Robbie Ferriera and Dustin Williams
My tuned manual swapped 850r with an old tired transmission on a cold road consistently does 7.5 seconds at 7200ft altitude!
Very fun video, thanks for sharing. My 850 sedan had a 7.8 0-60 but a 11.7 1/8 mile time (track). I'm at 5400 ft altitude.
Thanks Robert! We’ll have better timing gear in the spring when we do this again. Interesting numbers. Seems like the power dies off a bit.
I'm at 6000ft elevation. My S60R does 0-60 in 5.8 1/4 in 11.8... my dude needs some more lead in his foot.
What’s up with the early shifts? And soft launches? Can’t compare when each of you are going light on the cars and driving differently. Bad comparison imo, these vehicles can do a lot better.
Issa Stock Volvo ikr if i was it and that s60r i would launch it at 5k and bang every gear at redline
Exactly i did 7 sec with a stock 2005 s40 2.4 l no turbo
Probably short shifting to stay in that lower RPM power band.
Yeah, you can make up seconds when launching properly and shifting almost flat without loosing boost in the middle of the shift.

But for as nice as the body shell is, $2600 (including Tax/Title/License and having it delivered to my door from 175 miles away), means I've got budget to fix a fair number of things before I reach the "what it's worth" point, right? Push comes to shove, fix some little things for a couple grand and our teen can drive it around for a year or two - or even take it to college with him, right?
Jonathon Barton ah so a normal R. Got it 🤣 you’ll love it just the same. That’s not entirely horrible. All fixable. Nice XC! That’s what I want to get next. Love the newer ones.

My Volvo currently has AWD problems too! It’s running mainly FWD and it’s annoying because it’s the middle of winter too
The 0 to 60 for the S60R and V70R are really slow for what they are. The S60R should be well under 6 seconds. Something is very wrong with it, the cold weather should have made it faster. Many possibilities, the intercooler is probably plugged up with that many miles if they have not been taken out and washed internally.
Exactly!
Few things to point out:
1. Slight incline they are racing on not a very level ground and there was a corner or two mixed.
2. Cold day = Cold tires + Cold road = limited launching capabilities since tire slip is more likely specially on launch when most potential acting against the tire.
3. The drivers here starting in 1st and short shifting
4. Lack of experience and/or personal cars they don’t wish to abuse too much. But they short shifted a lot and throwing a lot of gears to get to 60, should just launch it in a taller gear and with it brake torquing or clutch dump it at a few grand. Each gear throw is costing them 1/4 second and going through at least 2 gears just to get to 60.. that’s potentially upwards of 1/2 second wasted.
5. Tires of unknown quality.. they mentioned V70R has best tires, it’s possible that they all could do with better tires.
From what I saw, the drivers were the main issue -- specifically shifting. On a stock S/V60R M66 you should hit 60 just before you grab 3rd. These guys shifted way too early and the shifts were slow.
I wonder they test 0-60 or 0-70? Coz the gopro shows 70+ mph on every run?
@@AmirPomen they using a iPhone app and attempting a 1/8th mile run..and 0-60 was captured within that run... likely inaccuracies and such because its not a proper setup, just iPhone app using gyros and satellites. they need a real speed trap setup and/or a vbox to capture real speeds without accuracy issues
Nice to see the Volvo family together for the holiday🎄 You should make the trip to the drag strip a meet-up with viewers. Then we can all drag them.
Man I love me volvos soooooooo underrated
They really are not, I mean everyone in the word knows what volvo is.
Good video review of swedish Moose.
I took a Moose XC70, 210 hp, 3 years drive
Хороший видео обзор шведских Лоси.
Взял себе ХС70, 210 л.с, 3 год езжу. Satisfied
It would be cool to add a S40/V50 to the mix. Keep up the great work, Gents
We want to own all the Volvos. So this is a possibility in the future!
These cars all sound awesome.
Atacama FTW! That gained you .5 right there...
I've got an 2016 s60 T6R design with polestar optimization. Live not too far from you in maryland if you would ever want to do something.
Imma out to check my 2011 C30 T5 Rdesign
the thing with the brake fluid low is semi normal, just needs some more fluid, I have it with my v70, only when I brake harder
Love those wheels on the V70R. They're perfect.
Thanks!
Maybe tips to improve my 1998 V70 XC would help. It does have a redone motor 2.5 L, with a high pressure turbo. Had it for a week now.
Another good video,blokes .The method of timing is a little hit and miss but good general feel .It is funny for us in Australia seeing you freeze ,it's is 40c here in the burbs of Sydney . Go the c30 !!!
Who can tell me, is possible to swap t6 engine 2.9 biturbo in c30?
Thanks 🙏
wait, my 260 hp volvo v70 II with FWD does 6.5 seconds to 60 mph
I have a S60 (with the newer body) but always wondered whether I should have bought the V60. Aside from this I also wanted to buy a C30 to modify it because its body shape is close to the shooting brake style that I've always loved. I guess I must like Volvo's so this episode is just perfect for me.
Depends on how much space you need. V60's boot is not that much bigger because of the steeping rear. Still I think it looks better, so I bought the V60.
That’s what happens when you have an 8Eight Fab exhaust and Hilton tune! You decimate all!! Haha!!
Holy Crap!
Is that lake Denmark park???
Hey guys! How about I bring up my S40 T5 AWD and we can have a drive off!? Hit me up if you want to!would love to be on one of your guys videos!
really enjoyed that guys. Looking forward to all the volvo projects coming up. Keep up the great vlogs👌
Many more to come! Make sure you’re subbed, we have lots of exciting adventures ahead!
-Hansen “the guy that came in last place”
I am the new proud owner of a 2007 V70 2.5T FWD 1 owner with 135 k miles. I stole it for 2,500. The previous owner just informed me he recently did a total mantainance service costing him 2,500 not to mention 4 new tires. New fluid's, belts, cam, plugs, filters etc. I am heaven.
I think you’re all winners. Those cars sound so good 👌🏾. If you want accurate data I think Racelogic has a pretty good one. Expensive but can be used for a multitude of different things
Thanks Ejike! Great suggestion on Racelogic. We’ve already been looking at better equipment. That’s on the list. Can’t wait to do this again in the spring at an actual strip!
@@ShiftingLanes I'll be looking forward to the rematches. Great video. There's not many Volvo channels around.
Looking forward to the suspension info. Will the suspension be compatible with the V50 T5 6 speed AWD? For some reason the rear suspension is different for FWD. Gotta look into why.
U guys on SWEDESPEED?
What's the name for the app to check speed and time????
Nice vid guys, keep up the Volvo love.
I want all of those cars so badly!
I'm somehow not sure of using the phones for tracking the performance because looking at the speedo during the runs (especially for Chad) it doesnt seem to pick up acceleration in a realistic way, really noticeable after gearshifts too
Idk about his S60r since it's a manual, but my automatic has an atrocious 1st gear and doesn't actually use all of its power until the torque limiter turns off in 3rd gear. It's definitely a rolling start car.
My m56 850r does 0-60 in about 5 seconds and that's with boost limited in first and crappy tires. I would say the best way to time it is to just record the speedometer and use a stopwatch. I've found gps trackers are often off by ± .2 seconds.
Hansen's sounds the best, only because he has the same exhaust as me 🤣 but I don't think that ol' girl is making 300 at the moment. But the AWD works! Service that, fluid and filter, make a video!
Definitely heard some wheel spin on the VR, definitely FWD. Atacama was a win from the start though.
I'm impressed with the C30, that thing will be a monster later on. And those wheels look amazing! Great video guys! Can't wait to see some drag strip action later on.
Thanks man! Really cool to see how these performed.
What exhaust was it? I didn't catch it
@@area.man. Hansen had the IPD oval tube exhaust on his R.
Which wheels on the C30? And the V70?
My c30 with elevate intake only. does 9.9 on the 8th and 5.9 60mph , I was expecting your numbers to be much fast than mine.
very cool video lol all 3 sound very nice good job making them sound better
Man you guys have my 3 dream cars!!! That s60 tho!
Wagons are the best. I would have loved to run my Polestar wagon with you guys!!!
You would have destroyed us all 😂 this spring you should come out to the drag strip with us!
ShiftingLanes I definitely will. When I visit family in NJ I would love to have you guys do a review of the Polestar. Volvo guys gotta stick together you know!!
Stock tune on a P2R, shift at 4k, and keep going 3k-4k through all the gears, quickest way to shift it, and get up to speed.
Also, what wasn't noted, were the P2Rs in sport or advanced modes? Was traction control turned off?
The brake fluid low thing is totally normal, my S60 does it every time I brake extra hard.
You guys are such bad drivers, but great video! Looking forward to 1/4 mile
16 seconds?
More like 30 minutes.
When you guys change the angle gear cooler go to a semi truck shop and get a brake Clevis the drill 3/8 hole through the collar put a grade 8 bolt through the brake clevis and through the collar then thread your slide hammer into the brake Clevis best way to get those stuck collar off the transmission gear
My stock 2013 s60R with Polestar tune consistently makes a 0-60 runs between 5.1.to 5.3 in the winter and 5.4 - 5.7 in the summer(PS3+) I just don't understand how you guys are going so slow...possibly since it looks like the road is a bit uphill grade.
hahah all the Volvo love, see you this summer.
We all know the real reason why Gregson won...
...He had the Moose Badge.
Good one, G-dawg! Team Dadwagen WOOT!
Hey where is the follow up video
What causes the AWD to not work?
What phone mount is being used in the C30?
C30 still has a rear wiper? Weight savings there!
V70r wins for me no matter what. I’m a wagon fiend and that atacama is dreamy
Thanks! It's the best.
Whoop whoop
Merry Christmas
Notification squad out 💯🙌👑
The apps are super unreliable... On paper the s60r should be quite a bit quicker, it has more power off the bat... C30 should be almost as fast as its remapped compared to the extra weight of the v70r....
My v50 t5 has an annoying over rev when you lift off the gas, it carrys on a tiny bit. Means gear changes are never fast,,, it has thrown a pedal fault so likely to be that or the wiring somewhere.
I will be getting a remap in the new year though, mainly because this channel makes me want it lol... Keep up the good work fellas 👍
I have a suggestion... Why dont u guys rent a xc90 2.5t and do 4 car comparison... I really want to se how the autos gonna compare with manuals
Yes,yes,yes....you are the best guys...ty for this video
You guys are awesome!!
As for the Haldex not working, is it corrosion on the connector on the rear diff?
Thor Hansen probably the transfer case issue that these volvos have...
Why does the C30 bog so much after switching to 2nd?
Traction. 1st was spinning so to limit the wheel spin I short shifted into 2nd. Tires grabbed and she bogged. Wanted to at least keep the revs up for boost which is why I didn't lift
Interesting to say the least. Did you guys disengage the DTCS?
8 sec to 60 mph wasn't impressive at all...and you guys got Tunes and exhaust?
Nobody is sure if the AWD is working properly?
I'm an owner with a zero stage plus a drop in K&N. I'm sure mine is faster than those times! Lol
I can't wait to you guys get official numbers from an official drag strip with functioning AWD active and no excuses!
Thanks guys! Staying Tuned.✌
I agree! off with DTCS and a more aggressive launch! Get those all 4 wheels grippin! They should do it in under 6 as Stock!!
@@micke2943
Totally agree. I've been enjoying you guys page since S60R's debut! Also, you guys being "locals" holds my interest even more. I can basically drive to all the pro shops!
I kinda like my stock exhaust. To me it makes great sounds when I'm on it and stealth when I'm not. Plus, I've passed highway patrol being a bit enthusiastic and thank goodness it's just a Volvo! Lol👍
agreed!! i have the trackaddict app and my c30 with the polestar tune and the elevate short ram intake is 6.0 to 60. shifting at the right time is crucial with k24 turbos as they are take longer to spool than the k04
I wish I could have shown up with my stage 3 Audi a4 and embarrassed some Swede cars. The 2 step launch control and no lift shift fireballs would have been the star of the show.
Careful now, or you'll get lost in my wake.
C30' what rpm are you shifting at?
I love the awesome wagon its interieur and the raw sound.
I love the video but the only gripe I have is I know that with my stock M66 S60R I can do a 9.2 to the 1/8 mile at 6000 ft altitude so Im not sure why they are so slow these cars are a lot faster than in the video
Hi, I have a completely stock S60 2.4 (170 HP) and I tried out to see how much slower my car is (in comparison with your turbo ones). I did the 0-60 in 8.6s and the 1/8 mi in 10.7s (also with winter tyres). I think your cars can do it much better than they did. Please check your mappings and try to change the gears within the best range. Mine is easy, 170 HP at 6200 rpm :)
Best regards from Germany!
Where is the Dyno video for the C30?
With the upgrades!
This Friday!
I can't wait to see the Dyno chart. Thanks
Why are you guys doing 0-75?
hit like if you like it? 3 white blocks sinning over and over, it's a joke right? what is not to like, but as some have stated, let them rev out a bit more when doing 0-60 mph should be doable in 2th gear, not sure with the C30 on the other hand, my V70R dont stop before reaching 7,5k rpm not sure if the US spec is any different.
P1 the wagons were more aerodynamic than the sedans, so used for racing in the touring championship.
I thought they raced the wagon because it raised more eye brows and that there was no difference in the two ,aero wise!
@@christopherlaidler8001 well you made me research it. The aero benefit was in down force from the long roof. The first car available to the race team for track testing happened to be a wagon. Then Volvo thought it would be great pr for t-5 wagon sales after seeing that first mule. You're correct.
@@zciwonapo great we were both right ,good to know for sure ,however. You are very dedicated to our cause .
@@christopherlaidler8001 I went from 240's to S70 to 740's to 760 to S60R, so I guess I'm in the fold. Lol
Me too, two manual 240's a one owner 164auto and now a s40 t4series 2 ,2001 manual .I love it ,but top end drops off a bit.
Good video but I have an S40 AWD T5 and I would expect better times than that when it was stock. I think driver skill and caution is too big a factor here to compare each car but in the UK everyone can drive a manual so the standards are much higher I guess, I have been able to double clutch shift properly since I was 17. Still a good video and its refreshing to see the mighty Ovlovs in the states rather than the usual American obsession with Japanese cars!
