Tore the *** out of a Volvo S40 Turbo......... Was driving along enjoying the day when a black S40 runs up beside me and slows down like he wants a piece. I drop it off into second to see if he is for real and he slows down with me. So I then drop it off into first and held it at about 35 mph and jumped at him to see if he would go. He did and I proceeded to to dismantle this thing really badly. By the time I was into third gear he was a good 10 cars back. It was damn ugly.

Nice kill.
The 2008 V8 S80 AWD that I drive all the time should be good for low 14s I'd guess. Ran it against my brother's stock LT1 A4 Z28 (at the time) and beat him from a dig and a roll. Not bad for a four door luxury sedan that weighs well over 4,000 pounds. Not to mention it's one of the nicest cars to drive and looks great (imo). I could cruise in that thing all day and still have quite a bit of fun with it.

We have a 98 T4 turbo S40, it's a quick car for what it is, but absolutely no mach for an LS1.
The new S40,C30 T5s are quicker, but only in the same class as R34s,Focus ST,Astra VXR low 6secs to 60 and not much in after market parts that I can find, we'll be picking up a new S40 T5 in Sept as a daily driver.

Drove a S60-R and I was not impressed, AWD but slow and turbo lag galore. You want a fast luxury car drive a S-type R. Mine weighed in at 4195 lbs with me and bone stock ran a 13.1 first time out.
