It's been a while. Turbo Volvo *VID*
 
Back with another installment. For those of you that dont know, a couple friends of mine are volvo freaks and make bricks go fast.

I have moved from Alabama where these guys are from so I'm not 100% up to date on this car in particular. From what I can remember, it's an 8v block, 16v block head, megasquirt, big turbo, mustang trans. Crazy SOB behind the wheel.

That is a solid performance. I like the oddball cars that turn respectable times.

Gangsta!!!! What is that a 91? looks like it from the headlights and front bumper. Im looking at a 89 740 GLE sedan, thinking about getting it. I wish I could find another wagon, but the rare ones you see aint for sale. I could a had a 89 Turbo wagon, but my phone shat out on me and I lost the guys number. Cleans ass wagon too, just needed a cam seal.

Time sheet said quarter, the guys who work in the office of my apartments are big into Volvos. Ofcourse they read Eurotuner as well :l


They're those guys who pay someone to build their car, but they're cool.

whole car honestly looked slow. obviously it's not, but not seeing the time, i'd guess that was a 13 second pass

Nearly 10 second car. 11 second driver.

Terrible.

But the car is badass.

Actually he's a good driver. He was trying not to grenade the clutch which happened a little later in the evening.
