Id go with the 850 R . Its got less weight to haul, probably a better top end on account of the fwd layout . It would probably not win off the line however on account of the S60 being awd, but i might be wrong. The v70 R would be lighter than the s60 r but its still got that awd top end problem. And i don't really know anything about the s70 r so im not going to speculate.

now im talking about 1/4 mile here. . . .

S60R - 14.0

now the 850R 5-Speed is 247 . . . with a Rica Chip, puts it around 305, now with just a chip, I don't think that it could run a 14.0 flat . . . . IMO

i don't know. . . . it would be close

i dont know the s60 has 6 gears, which means its top gear is much taller, this could either help or hurt it, why dont we gather these cars up and find out

Actually it's 308.. :D

About the comparison,

What are we talking here?

All 300 HP manuals, FWD for the older models or AWD for the older V70R model?

If all have an honest and strong 300 HP the 850R will come out on top at 155 mph.

The new R loses it's speed above 120 mph. Also the 3rd gear isn't as dramatic as the 850's 3rd gear performance.

850 probably loses a second to 60 but will gain 2-3 seconds to 125 mph.

I say the S60R would, it would first get a jump on the other cars since it has 4wd, then it would either start pulling away slowly till 155mph because I believe it is a little more aerodymanic than the others and also has better gearing than the others.
