Volvokiller Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 You can't afford them. Last I heard they were looking to sell everytihng as a package. Somewhere in the $500k range for everything. These are full blown racecars people. I've stood next to them, my friend sat in Derek Bells car, the header on these cars cost more than I bought my S70 for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NataSS Inc Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 (edited) I can attest to the speed of these cars. I have worked in the pits on another Speed GT car running against the Volvos. At the time Galati was driving and Bell was no where to be seen. These things are pretty fast and hold the road well. They just have a small problem with buring the passenger door panels off But listening to them coming into the front straight at 100% throttle is something else. Sounds more like a leer jet than a car.Yup, pretty much says it all right here that Volvo Racing is no more. So sad, they had so much potential.Yeah, to bad Volvo wouldnt step up to the plate and help them out. This was almost completely an independant venture. I cant remember the team owners name but he went to volvo and proposed the idea of entering the GT class with the S60r. It was pretty much a outcry for a little factory backing and he got exactly that.....little help. Volvo passed off on the idea but would do anything to assist.

NataSS Inc Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 id love to just drive around town for a bit in one of those. i bet you every honda with a wing would be game. might have some problems with emissions lolTrust me when I say you wouldnt want to drive one around town. There is absolutely nothing in common with a Speed GT car and the street version. Other than possibly the resemblance. most of these cars are running Tilton styled clutches with reduced flyweel mass. See: on/off switch, no slippy of the clutchy. And after taking it down the freeway at even mild speeds you would probably need your kindeys replaced.
