. Anyways, walking back out, this black S60R had parked next to me and the guy was going to get back in his car. I started to get suspcious when he started the car and instead of the new Volvo weaksauce exhaust note, it roared. It was a beautiful sound, throaty, yet refined in a way. Lemme make somethin' clear first before I go any further. Around here, about 80% of Volvo drivers are middle-aged women. I can count all of the modified Volvo's I know of in my city of 250,000 people on one hand. So, this was just too much for me to not go over and find out what the hell was going on. So I went over and asked the guy what he had done to the car and he said he got the stage 2 kit from Svenske Racing installed. He said he's on the R forum occasionally over at SS. I almost laughed when he said this cause we make fun of those silly guys over there for talking about floormats and stuff. Anyways... he said he runs 12.84 sec 1/4 mile. It was the 6-speed version of course. So then he took off saying his wife was going to interrogate him about his whereabouts if he didn't get home and I couldn't get over how wicked the car sounded. I asked my indy who also works at the dealer later that evening if he knew any thing about the car. He said it was the fastest Volvo's he's ever seen and this is coming from a guy who's daily driver is soon to be a Nissan 240 w/ a built SR20DET dropped in it.I just thought I'd let you guys know that when tuned right, those new R's are nothing to mess with. HHmm, now I want one. Ya know, yesterday was my birthday, and if every member here contributed $4 to the Sean NEEDS an S60R fund, I could buy one
. It'd be a great late birthday present 
i lurk on SS all the time, just wanted to know a S/N so I could put a name to the posts (if I've ever noticed the guy)
) I would have given it a try with my V70R during last weekend's drag event. The track used is known to be a few tenths slower compared to other 1/4 mile strips. This mainly because it is a race track where only 2-3 times a year drag events are organized and this in the opposite direction of the track..
